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`.

The current support was essentially the amount necessary
to support replacing SymbolRefAttrs, but suffers from various
deficiencies (both ergonomic and functional):
* Replace crashes if unsupported
This makes it really hard to use safely, given that you don't know
if you are going to crash or not when using it.
* Types aren't supported
This seems like a simple missed addition when the attribute replacement
support was originally added.
* The ergonomics are weird
It currently uses an index based replacement, which makes the implementations
quite clunky.
This commit refactors support to be a bit more ergonomic, and also
adds support for types in the process. This was also a great oppurtunity
to greatly simplify how replacement is done in the symbol table.

This commit enables support for providing and processing external
resources within MLIR assembly formats. This is a mechanism with which
dialects, and external clients, may attach additional information when
printing IR without that information being encoded in the IR itself.
External resources are not uniqued within the MLIR context, are not
attached directly to any operation, and are solely intended to live and be
processed outside of the immediate IR. There are many potential uses of this
functionality, for example MLIR's pass crash reproducer could utilize this to
attach the pass resource executing when a crash occurs. Other types of
uses may be embedding large amounts of binary data, such as weights in ML
applications, that shouldn't be copied directly into the MLIR context, but
need to be kept adjacent to the IR.
External resources are encoded using a key-value pair nested within a
dictionary anchored by name either on a dialect, or an externally registered
entity. The key is an identifier used to disambiguate the data. The value
may be stored in various limited forms, but general encodings use a string
(human readable) or blob format (binary). Within the textual format, an
example may be of the form:
```mlir
{-#
// The `dialect_resources` section within the file-level metadata
// dictionary is used to contain any dialect resource entries.
dialect_resources: {
// Here is a dictionary anchored on "foo_dialect", which is a dialect
// namespace.
foo_dialect: {
// `some_dialect_resource` is a key to be interpreted by the dialect,
// and used to initialize/configure/etc.
some_dialect_resource: "Some important resource value"
}
},
// The `external_resources` section within the file-level metadata
// dictionary is used to contain any non-dialect resource entries.
external_resources: {
// Here is a dictionary anchored on "mlir_reproducer", which is an
// external entity representing MLIR's crash reproducer functionality.
mlir_reproducer: {
// `pipeline` is an entry that holds a crash reproducer pipeline
// resource.
pipeline: "func.func(canonicalize,cse)"
}
}
```

The attribute self type parameter is currently treated like any other attribute parameter in the assembly format. The self type parameter should be handled by the operation parser and printer and play no role in the generated parsers and printers of attributes.

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 {

Declarative attribute and type formats with assembly formats. Define an
`assemblyFormat` field in attribute and type defs with a `mnemonic` to
generate a parser and printer.
```tablegen
def MyAttr : AttrDef<MyDialect, "MyAttr"> {
let parameters = (ins "int64_t":$count, "AffineMap":$map);
let mnemonic = "my_attr";
let assemblyFormat = "`<` $count `,` $map `>`";
}
```
Use `struct` to define a comma-separated list of key-value pairs:
```tablegen
def MyType : TypeDef<MyDialect, "MyType"> {
let parameters = (ins "int":$one, "int":$two, "int":$three);
let mnemonic = "my_attr";
let assemblyFormat = "`<` $three `:` struct($one, $two) `>`";
}
```
Use `struct(*)` to capture all parameters.

This revision refactors ElementsAttr into an Attribute Interface.
This enables a common interface with which to interact with
element attributes, without needing to modify the builtin
dialect. It also removes a majority (if not all?) of the need for
the current OpaqueElementsAttr, which was originally intended as
a way to opaquely represent data that was not representable by
the other builtin constructs.
The new ElementsAttr interface not only allows for users to
natively represent their data in the way that best suits them,
it also allows for efficient opaque access and iteration of the
underlying data. Attributes using the ElementsAttr interface
can directly expose support for interacting with the held
elements using any C++ data type they claim to support. For
example, DenseIntOrFpElementsAttr supports iteration using
various native C++ integer/float data types, as well as
APInt/APFloat, and more. ElementsAttr instances that refer to
DenseIntOrFpElementsAttr can use all of these data types for
iteration:
```c++
DenseIntOrFpElementsAttr intElementsAttr = ...;
ElementsAttr attr = intElementsAttr;
for (uint64_t value : attr.getValues<uint64_t>())
...;
for (APInt value : attr.getValues<APInt>())
...;
for (IntegerAttr value : attr.getValues<IntegerAttr>())
...;
```
ElementsAttr also supports failable range/iterator access,
allowing for selective code paths depending on data type
support:
```c++
ElementsAttr attr = ...;
if (auto range = attr.tryGetValues<uint64_t>()) {
for (uint64_t value : *range)
...;
}
```

While the changes are extensive, they basically fall into a few
categories:
1) Moving the TestDialect itself.
2) Updating C++ code in tablegen to explicitly use ::mlir, since it
will be put in a headers that shouldn't expect a 'using'.
3) Updating some generic MLIR Interface definitions to do the same thing.
4) Updating the Tablegen generator in a few places to be explicit about
namespaces
5) Doing the same thing for llvm references, since we no longer pick
up the definitions from mlir/Support/LLVM.h

It may be desirable to provide an interface implementation for an attribute or
a type without modifying the definition of said attribute or type. Notably,
this allows to implement interfaces for attributes and types outside of the
dialect that defines them and, in particular, provide interfaces for built-in
types. Provide the mechanism to do so.
Currently, separable registration requires the attribute or type to have been
registered with the context, i.e. for the dialect containing the attribute or
type to be loaded. This can be relaxed in the future using a mechanism similar
to delayed dialect interface registration.

This allows for storage instances to store data that isn't uniqued in the context, or contain otherwise non-trivial logic, in the rare situations that they occur. Storage instances with trivial destructors will still have their destructor skipped. A consequence of this is that the storage instance definition must be visible from the place that registers the type.
