After the MemRef has been split out of the Standard dialect, the
conversion to the LLVM dialect remained as a huge monolithic pass.
This is undesirable for the same complexity management reasons as having
a huge Standard dialect itself, and is even more confusing given the
existence of a separate dialect. Extract the conversion of the MemRef
dialect operations to LLVM into a separate library and a separate
conversion pass.

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.

The LLVM dialect type system has been closed until now, i.e. did not support
types from other dialects inside containers. While this has had obvious
benefits of deriving from a common base class, it has led to some simple types
being almost identical with the built-in types, namely integer and floating
point types. This in turn has led to a lot of larger-scale complexity: simple
types must still be converted, numerous operations that correspond to LLVM IR
intrinsics are replicated to produce versions operating on either LLVM dialect
or built-in types leading to quasi-duplicate dialects, lowering to the LLVM
dialect is essentially required to be one-shot because of type conversion, etc.
In this light, it is reasonable to trade off some local complexity in the
internal implementation of LLVM dialect types for removing larger-scale system
complexity. Previous commits to the LLVM dialect type system have adapted the
API to support types from other dialects.
Replace LLVMIntegerType with the built-in IntegerType plus additional checks
that such types are signless (these are isolated in a utility function that
replaced `isa<LLVMType>` and in the parser). Temporarily keep the possibility
to parse `!llvm.i32` as a synonym for `i32`, but add a deprecation notice.

[mlir] Remove LLVMType, LLVM dialect types now derive Type directly
This class has become a simple `isa` hook with no proper functionality.
Removing will allow us to eventually make the LLVM dialect type infrastructure
open, i.e., support non-LLVM types inside container types, which itself will
make the type conversion more progressive.
Introduce a call `LLVM::isCompatibleType` to be used instead of
`isa<LLVMType>`. For now, this is strictly equivalent.

LLVMType contains numerous static constructors that were initially introduced
for API compatibility with LLVM. Most of these merely forward to arguments to
`SpecificType::get` (MLIR defines classes for all types, unlike LLVM IR), while
some introduce subtle semantics differences due to different modeling of MLIR
types (e.g., structs are not auto-renamed in case of conflicts). Furthermore,
these constructors don't match MLIR idioms and actively prevent us from making
the LLVM dialect type system more open. Remove them and use `SpecificType::get`
instead.

LLVMType contains multiple instance methods that were introduced initially for
compatibility with LLVM API. These methods boil down to `cast` followed by
type-specific call. Arguably, they are mostly used in an LLVM cast-follows-isa
anti-pattern. This doesn't connect nicely to the rest of the MLIR
infrastructure and actively prevents it from making the LLVM dialect type
system more open, e.g., reusing built-in types when appropriate. Remove such
instance methods and replaces their uses with apporpriate casts and methods on
derived classes. In some cases, the result may look slightly more verbose, but
most cases should actually use a stricter subtype of LLVMType anyway and avoid
the isa/cast.

Historical modeling of the LLVM dialect types had been wrapping LLVM IR types
and therefore needed access to the instance of LLVMContext stored in the
LLVMDialect. The new modeling does not rely on that and only needs the
MLIRContext that is used for uniquing, similarly to other MLIR types. Change
LLVMType::get<Kind>Ty functions to take `MLIRContext *` instead of
`LLVMDialect *` as first argument. This brings the code base closer to
completely removing the dependence on LLVMContext from the LLVMDialect,
together with additional support for thread-safety of its use.

This revision removes the TypeConverter parameter passed to the apply* methods, and instead moves the responsibility of region type conversion to patterns. The types of a region can be converted using the 'convertRegionTypes' method, which acts similarly to the existing 'applySignatureConversion'. This method ensures that all blocks within, and including those moved into, a region will have the block argument types converted using the provided converter.
This has the benefit of making more of the legalization logic controlled by patterns, instead of being handled explicitly by the driver. It also opens up the possibility to support multiple type conversions at some point in the future.
This revision also adds a new utility class `FailureOr<T>` that provides a LogicalResult friendly facility for returning a failure or a valid result value.
