* Gradient of `sqrt(RBF(Z, Z))` no longer NaN

Before this commit, `Kmms = sqrt(exp(-1/x)) = exp(-1/(2x))`. These two
expressions are equivalent mathematically. However, they are not
equivalent when it comes to computing finite-precision gradients
(dKmms/dx) via backpropagation when `Kmms**2 == 0.0`. Thus, we change
sqrt(exp(-1/x)) to exp(-1/(2x)). This solves #595 in the expectations
framework.

* Removed test for NaN gradients of eKxzKz
