This patch removes the `type` field from `Attribute` along with the
`Attribute::getType` accessor.
Going forward, this means that attributes in MLIR will no longer have
types as a first-class concept. This patch lays the groundwork to
incrementally remove or refactor code that relies on generic attributes
being typed. The immediate impact will be on attributes that rely on
`Attribute` containing a type, such as `IntegerAttr`,
`DenseElementsAttr`, and `ml_program::ExternAttr`, which will now need
to define a type parameter on their storage classes. This will save
memory as all other attribute kinds will no longer contain a type.
Moreover, it will not be possible to generically query the type of an
attribute directly. This patch provides an attribute interface
`TypedAttr` that implements only one method, `getType`, which can be
used to generically query the types of attributes that implement the
interface. This interface can be used to retain the concept of a "typed
attribute". The ODS-generated accessor for a `type` parameter
automatically implements this method.
Next steps will be to refactor the assembly formats of certain operations
that rely on `parseAttribute(type)` and `printAttributeWithoutType` to
remove special handling of type elision until `type` can be removed from
the dialect parsing hook entirely; and incrementally remove uses of
`TypedAttr`.

This adds a cast operation that allows to perform an explicit type
conversion. The cast op is emitted as a C-style cast. It can be applied
to integer, float, index and EmitC types.

This adds a variable op, emitted as C/C++ locale variable, which can be
used if the `emitc.constant` op is not sufficient.
As an example, the canonicalization pass would transform
```mlir
%0 = "emitc.constant"() {value = 0 : i32} : () -> i32
%1 = "emitc.constant"() {value = 0 : i32} : () -> i32
%2 = emitc.apply "&"(%0) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
%3 = emitc.apply "&"(%1) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
emitc.call "write"(%2, %3) : (!emitc.ptr<i32>, !emitc.ptr<i32>) -> ()
```
into
```mlir
%0 = "emitc.constant"() {value = 0 : i32} : () -> i32
%1 = emitc.apply "&"(%0) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
%2 = emitc.apply "&"(%0) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
emitc.call "write"(%1, %2) : (!emitc.ptr<i32>, !emitc.ptr<i32>) -> ()
```
resulting in pointer aliasing, as %1 and %2 point to the same address.
In such a case, the `emitc.variable` operation can be used instead.

The majority of dialects reimplement the same boilerplate over and over,
switching the default makes it for better discoverability and make it simpler

This decouples the printing/parsing from the "context" in which the parsing occurs.
This will allow to invoke these methods directly using an OpAsmParser/OpAsmPrinter.

This breaking change requires to remove printing the mnemonic in the print()
method on Type/Attribute classes.
This makes it consistent with the parsing code which alread handles the
mnemonic outside of the parsing method.
This likely won't break the build for anyone, but tests will start
failing for dialects downstream. The fix is trivial and look like
going from:
void emitc::OpaqueType::print(DialectAsmPrinter &printer) const {
printer << "opaque<\"";
to:
void emitc::OpaqueAttr::print(DialectAsmPrinter &printer) const {
printer << "<\"";

Add a new `useDefaultTypePrinterParser` boolean settings on the dialect

We will likely turn this on by default in the future.

The former is redundant because the later carries it as part of
its builder. Add a getContext() helper method to DialectAsmParser
to make this more convenient, and stop passing the context around

* Previously, we were only generating .h.inc files. We foresee the need to also generate implementations and this is a step towards that.

* Deviates from the discussion above by generating a default constructor in the .cpp.inc file (and adding a tablegen bit that disables this in case if this is user provided).
* Generating the destructor started as a way to flush out the missing includes (produces a link error), but it is a strict improvement on its own that is worth doing (i.e. by emitting key methods in the .cpp file, we root vtables in one translation unit, which is a non-controversial improvement).
