We have several ways to materialize sparse tensors (new and convert) but no explicit operation to release the underlying sparse storage scheme at runtime (other than making an explicit delSparseTensor() library call). To simplify memory management, a sparse_tensor.release operation has been introduced that lowers to the runtime library call while keeping tensors, opague pointers, and memrefs transparent in the initial IR.
*Note* There is obviously some tension between the concept of immutable tensors and memory management methods. This tension is addressed by simply stating that after the "release" call, no further memref related operations are allowed on the tensor value. We expect the design to evolve over time, however, and arrive at a more satisfactory view of tensors and buffers eventually.

Conversion to the LLVM dialect is being refactored to be more progressive and
is now performed as a series of independent passes converting different
dialects. These passes may produce `unrealized_conversion_cast` operations that
represent pending conversions between built-in and LLVM dialect types.
Historically, a more monolithic Standard-to-LLVM conversion pass did not need
these casts as all operations were converted in one shot. Previous refactorings
have led to the requirement of running the Standard-to-LLVM conversion pass to
clean up `unrealized_conversion_cast`s even though the IR had no standard
operations in it. The pass must have been also run the last among all to-LLVM
passes, in contradiction with the partial conversion logic. Additionally, the
way it was set up could produce invalid operations by removing casts between
LLVM and built-in types even when the consumer did not accept the uncasted
type, or could lead to cryptic conversion errors (recursive application of the
rewrite pattern on `unrealized_conversion_cast` as a means to indicate failure
to eliminate casts).
In fact, the need to eliminate A->B->A `unrealized_conversion_cast`s is not
specific to to-LLVM conversions and can be factored out into a separate type
reconciliation pass, which is achieved in this commit. While the cast operation
itself has a folder pattern, it is insufficient in most conversion passes as
the folder only applies to the second cast. Without complex legality setup in
the conversion target, the conversion infra will either consider the cast
operations valid and not fold them (a separate canonicalization would be
necessary to trigger the folding), or consider the first cast invalid upon
generation and stop with error. The pattern provided by the reconciliation pass
applies to the first cast operation instead. Furthermore, having a separate
pass makes it clear when `unrealized_conversion_cast`s could not have been
eliminated since it is the only reason why this pass can fail.

Recent changes outside sparse compiler exposed the requirement of running a
new pass (lower-affine) but this only became apparent with private testing.
By adding some vectorized runs to integration test, we will detect the need
for such changes earlier and also widen codegen coverage of course.

With the migration from linalg.copy to memref.copy, this pass
(which was there solely to handle the linalg.copy op) is no
longer required for the end-to-end path for sparse compilation.

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.

A very elaborate, but also very fun revision because all
puzzle pieces are finally "falling in place".
1. replaces lingalg annotations + flags with proper sparse tensor types
2. add rigorous verification on sparse tensor type and sparse primitives
3. removes glue and clutter on opaque pointers in favor of sparse tensor types
4. migrates all tests to use sparse tensor types
NOTE: next CL will remove *all* obsoleted sparse code in Linalg

This revision migrates more code from Linalg into the new permanent home of
SparseTensor. It replaces the test passes with proper compiler passes.
NOTE: the actual removal of the last glue and clutter in Linalg will follow

This is the very first step toward removing the glue and clutter from linalg and
replace it with proper sparse tensor types. This revision migrates the LinalgSparseOps
into SparseTensorOps of a sparse tensor dialect. This also provides a new home for
sparse tensor related transformation.
NOTE: the actual replacement with sparse tensor types (and removal of linalg glue/clutter)
will follow but I am trying to keep the amount of changes per revision manageable.
