LLVM considers global variables marked as externals to be defined within the module if it is initialized (including to an undef). Other external globals are considered as being defined externally and imported into the current translation unit. Lowering of MLIR Global Ops does not properly propagate undefined initializers, resulting in a global which is expected to be defined within the current TU, not being defined.

The dialect-specific cast between builtin (ex-standard) types and LLVM
dialect types was introduced long time before built-in support for
unrealized_conversion_cast. It has a similar purpose, but is restricted
to compatible builtin and LLVM dialect types, which may hamper
progressive lowering and composition with types from other dialects.
Replace llvm.mlir.cast with unrealized_conversion_cast, and drop the
operation that became unnecessary.
Also make unrealized_conversion_cast legal by default in
LLVMConversionTarget as the majority of convesions using it are partial
conversions that actually want the casts to persist in the IR. The
standard-to-llvm conversion, which is still expected to run last, cleans
up the remaining casts standard-to-llvm conversion, which is still
expected to run last, cleans up the remaining casts

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.
