Original implementation of OutUtils provided two different LLVM IR module
transformers to be used with the MLIR ExecutionEngine: OptimizingTransformer
parameterized by the optimization levels (similar to -O3 flags) and
LLVMPassesTransformer parameterized by the string formatted similarly to
command line options of LLVM's "opt" tool without support for -O* flags.
Introduce such support by declaring the flags inside the parser and by
populating the pass managers similarly to what "opt" does. Remove the
additional flags from mlir-cpu-runner as they can now be wrapped into
`-llvm-opts` together with other LLVM-related flags.

A recent change introduced a possibility to run LLVM IR transformation during
JIT-compilation in the ExecutionEngine. Provide helper functions that
construct IR transformers given either clang-style optimization levels or a
list passes to run. The latter wraps the LLVM command line option parser to
parse strings rather than actual command line arguments. As a result, we can
run either of
mlir-cpu-runner -O3 input.mlir
mlir-cpu-runner -some-mlir-pass -llvm-opts="-llvm-pass -other-llvm-pass"
to combine different transformations. The transformer builder functions are
provided as a separate library that depends on LLVM pass libraries unlike the
main execution engine library. The library can be used for integrating MLIR
execution engine into external frameworks.

Original implementation of the translation from MLIR to LLVM IR operated on the
Standard+BuiltIn dialect, with a later addition of the SuperVector dialect.
This required the translation to be aware of a potetially large number of other
dialects as the infrastructure extended. With the recent introduction of the
LLVM IR dialect into MLIR, the translation can be switched to only translate
the LLVM IR dialect, and the translation of the operations becomes largely
mechanical.
The reimplementation of the translator follows the lines of the original
translator in function and basic block conversion. In particular, block
arguments are converted to LLVM IR PHI nodes, which are connected to their
sources after all blocks of a function had been converted. Thanks to LLVM IR
types being wrapped in the MLIR LLVM dialect type, type conversion is
simplified to only convert function types, all other types are simply
unwrapped. Individual instructions are constructed using the LLVM IRBuilder,
which has a great potential for being table-generated from the LLVM IR dialect
operation definitions.
The input of the test/Target/llvmir.mlir is updated to use the MLIR LLVM IR
dialect. While it is now redundant with the dialect conversion test, the point
of the exercise is to guarantee exactly the same LLVM IR is emitted. (Only the
name of the allocation function is changed from `__mlir_alloc` to `alloc` in
the CHECK lines.) It will be simplified in a follow-up commit.

Make sure the module is always passed to the optimization layer.
Drop unused default argument for the IR transformation and remove the function
that was only used in this default argument. The transformation wrapper
constructor already checks for the null function, so the caller can just pass
`{}` if they don't want any transformation (no callers currently need this).

The current ExecutionEngine flow generates the LLVM IR from MLIR and
JIT-compiles it as is without any transformation. It thus misses the
opportunity to perform optimizations supported by LLVM or collect statistics
about the module. Modify the Orc JITter to perform transformations on the LLVM
IR. Accept an optional LLVM module transformation function when constructing
the ExecutionEngine and use it while JIT-compiling. This prevents MLIR
ExecutionEngine from depending on LLVM passes; its clients should depend on the
passes they require.

This CL adds support for calling EDSCs from other languages than C++.
Following the LLVM convention this CL:
1. declares simple opaque types and a C API in mlir-c/Core.h;
2. defines the implementation directly in lib/EDSC/Types.cpp and
lib/EDSC/MLIREmitter.cpp.
Unlike LLVM however the nomenclature for these types and API functions is not
well-defined, naming suggestions are most welcome.
To avoid the need for conversion functions, Types.h and MLIREmitter.h include
mlir-c/Core.h and provide constructors and conversion operators between the
mlir::edsc type and the corresponding C type.
In this first commit, mlir-c/Core.h only contains the types for the C API
to allow EDSCs to work from Python. This includes both a minimal set of core
MLIR
types (mlir_context_t, mlir_type_t, mlir_func_t) as well as the EDSC types
(edsc_mlir_emitter_t, edsc_expr_t, edsc_stmt_t, edsc_indexed_t). This can be
restructured in the future as concrete needs arise.
For now, the API only supports:
1. scalar types;
2. memrefs of scalar types with static or symbolic shapes;
3. functions with input and output of these types.
The C API is not complete wrt ownership semantics. This is in large part due
to the fact that python bindings are written with Pybind11 which allows very
idiomatic C++ bindings. An effort is made to write a large chunk of these
bindings using the C API but some C++isms are used where the design benefits
from this simplication. A fully isolated C API will make more sense once we
also integrate with another language like Swift and have enough use cases to
drive the design.
Lastly, this CL also fixes a bug in mlir::ExecutionEngine were the order of
declaration of llvmContext and the JIT result in an improper order of
destructors (which used to crash before the fix).

This implements a simple CPU runner based on LLVM Orc JIT. The base
functionality is provided by the ExecutionEngine class that compiles and links
the module, and provides an interface for obtaining function pointers to the
JIT-compiled MLIR functions and for invoking those functions directly. Since
function pointers need to be casted to the correct pointer type, the
ExecutionEngine wraps LLVM IR functions obtained from MLIR into a helper
function with the common signature `void (void **)` where the single argument
is interpreted as a list of pointers to the actual arguments passed to the
function, eventually followed by a pointer to the result of the function.
Additionally, the ExecutionEngine is set up to resolve library functions to
those available in the current process, enabling support for, e.g., simple C
library calls.
For integration purposes, this also provides a simplistic runtime for memref
descriptors as expected by the LLVM IR code produced by MLIR translation. In
particular, memrefs are transformed into LLVM structs (can be mapped to C
structs) with a pointer to the data, followed by dynamic sizes. This
implementation only supports statically-shaped memrefs of type float, but can
be extened if necessary.
Provide a binary for the runner and a test that exercises it.
