        The L_2 optimized attack. 

        This attack is the most efficient and should be used as the primary 
        attack to evaluate potential defenses.

        Returns adversarial examples for the supplied model.

        confidence: Confidence of adversarial examples: higher produces examples
          that are farther away, but more strongly classified as adversarial.
        batch_size: Number of attacks to run simultaneously.
        targeted: True if we should perform a targetted attack, False otherwise.
        learning_rate: The learning rate for the attack algorithm. Smaller values
          produce better results but are slower to converge.
        binary_search_steps: The number of times we perform binary search to
          find the optimal tradeoff-constant between distance and confidence. 
        max_iterations: The maximum number of iterations. Larger values are more
          accurate; setting too small will require a large learning rate and will
          produce poor results.
        abort_early: If true, allows early aborts if gradient descent gets stuck.
        initial_const: The initial tradeoff-constant to use to tune the relative
          importance of distance and confidence. If binary_search_steps is large,
          the initial constant is not important.
