This patch brings support for setting runtime preemption specifiers of
LLVM's GlobalValues. In LLVM semantics, if the `dso_local` attribute
is not explicitly requested, then it is inferred based on linkage and
visibility. We model this same behavior with a UnitAttribute: if it is
present, then we explicitly request the GlobalValue to marked as
`dso_local`, otherwise we rely on the GlobalValue itself to make this
decision.

First step in adding alignment as an attribute to MLIR global definitions. Alignment can be specified for global objects in LLVM IR. It can also be specified as a named attribute in the LLVMIR dialect of MLIR. However, this attribute has no standing and is discarded during translation from MLIR to LLVM IR. This patch does two things: First, it adds the attribute to the syntax of the llvm.mlir.global operation, and by doing this it also adds accessors and verifications. The syntax is "align=XX" (with XX being an integer), placed right after the value of the operation. Second, it allows transforming this operation to and from LLVM IR. It is checked whether the value is an integer power of 2.

The current design uses a unique entry for each argument/result attribute, with the name of the entry being something like "arg0". This provides for a somewhat sparse design, but ends up being much more expensive (from a runtime perspective) in-practice. The design requires building a string every time we lookup the dictionary for a specific arg/result, and also requires N attribute lookups when collecting all of the arg/result attribute dictionaries.
This revision restructures the design to instead have an ArrayAttr that contains all of the attribute dictionaries for arguments and another for results. This design reduces the number of attribute name lookups to 1, and allows for O(1) lookup for individual element dictionaries. The major downside is that we can end up with larger memory usage, as the ArrayAttr contains an entry for each element even if that element has no attributes. If the memory usage becomes too problematic, we can experiment with a more sparse structure that still provides a lot of the wins in this revision.
This dropped the compilation time of a somewhat large TensorFlow model from ~650 seconds to ~400 seconds.

'getAttrs' has been explicitly marked deprecated. This patch refactors
to use Operation::getAttrs().

Until now, the GPU translation to NVVM or ROCDL intrinsics relied on the
presence of the generic `gpu.kernel` attribute to attach additional LLVM IR
metadata to the relevant functions. This would be problematic if each dialect
were to handle the conversion of its own options, which is the intended
direction for the translation infrastructure. Introduce `nvvm.kernel` and
`rocdl.kernel` in addition to `gpu.kernel` and base translation on these new
attributes instead.
