Non-32-bit scalar types require special hardware support that may not
exist on all GPUs. This is reflected in SPIR-V as that non-32-bit scalar
types require special capabilities or extensions.
Previously when there is a non-32-bit type and no native support, we
unconditionally emulate it with 32-bit ones. This isn't good given that
it can have implications over ABI and data layout consistency.
This commit introduces an option to control whether to use 32-bit
types to emulate.

This commit add utility functions for creating push constant
storage variable and loading values from it.
Along the way, performs some clean up:
* Deleted `setABIAttrs`, which is just a 4-liner function
with one user.
* Moved `SPIRVConverstionTarget` into `mlir` namespace,
to be consistent with `SPIRVTypeConverter` and
`LLVMConversionTarget`.

This doesn't change APIs, this just cleans up the many in-tree uses of these
names to use the new preferred names. We'll keep the old names around for a
couple weeks to help transitions.

This updates the codebase to pass the context when creating an instance of
OwningRewritePatternList, and starts removing extraneous MLIRContext
parameters. There are many many more to be removed.

Normally tensors will be stored in buffers before converting to SPIR-V,
given that is how a large amount of data is sent to the GPU. However,
SPIR-V supports converting from tensors directly too. This is for the
cases where the tensor just contains a small amount of elements and it
makes sense to directly inline them as a small data array in the shader.
To handle this, internally the conversion might create new local
variables. SPIR-V consumers in GPU drivers may or may not optimize that
away. So this has implications over register pressure. Therefore, a
threshold is used to control when the patterns should kick in.

This commit renames various SPIR-V related conversion files for
consistency. It drops the "Convert" prefix to various files and
fixes various comment headers.
