Since the very first commits, the Python and C MLIR APIs have had mis-placed registration/load functionality for dialects, extensions, etc. This was done pragmatically in order to get bootstrapped and then just grew in. Downstreams largely bypass and do their own thing by providing various APIs to register things they need. Meanwhile, the C++ APIs have stabilized around this and it would make sense to follow suit.
The thing we have observed in canonical usage by downstreams is that each downstream tends to have native entry points that configure its installation to its preferences with one-stop APIs. This patch leans in to this approach with `RegisterEverything.h` and `mlir._mlir_libs._mlirRegisterEverything` being the one-stop entry points for the "upstream packages". The `_mlir_libs.__init__.py` now allows customization of the environment and Context by adding "initialization modules" to the `_mlir_libs` package. If present, `_mlirRegisterEverything` is treated as such a module. Others can be added by downstreams by adding a `_site_initialize_{i}.py` module, where '{i}' is a number starting with zero. The number will be incremented and corresponding module loaded until one is not found. Initialization modules can:
* Perform load time customization to the global environment (i.e. registering passes, hooks, etc).
* Define a `register_dialects(registry: DialectRegistry)` function that can extend the `DialectRegistry` that will be used to bootstrap the `Context`.
* Define a `context_init_hook(context: Context)` function that will be added to a list of callbacks which will be invoked after dialect registration during `Context` initialization.
Note that the `MLIRPythonExtension.RegisterEverything` is not included by default when building a downstream (its corresponding behavior was prior). For downstreams which need the default MLIR initialization to take place, they must add this back in to their Python CMake build just like they add their own components (i.e. to `add_mlir_python_common_capi_library` and `add_mlir_python_modules`). It is perfectly valid to not do this, in which case, only the things explicitly depended on and initialized by downstreams will be built/packaged. If the downstream has not been set up for this, it is recommended to simply add this back for the time being and pay the build time/package size cost.
CMake changes:
* `MLIRCAPIRegistration` -> `MLIRCAPIRegisterEverything` (renamed to signify what it does and force an evaluation: a number of places were incidentally linking this very expensive target)
* `MLIRPythonSoure.Passes` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.AllPassesRegistration` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.Conversions` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.Transforms` removed (without replacement: just drop)
Header changes:
* `mlir-c/Registration.h` is deleted. Dialect registration functionality is now in `IR.h`. Registration of upstream features are in `mlir-c/RegisterEverything.h`. When updating MLIR and a couple of downstreams, I found that proper usage was commingled so required making a choice vs just blind S&R.
Python APIs removed:
* mlir.transforms and mlir.conversions (previously only had an __init__.py which indirectly triggered `mlirRegisterTransformsPasses()` and `mlirRegisterConversionPasses()` respectively). Downstream impact: Remove these imports if present (they now happen as part of default initialization).
* mlir._mlir_libs._all_passes_registration, mlir._mlir_libs._mlirTransforms, mlir._mlir_libs._mlirConversions. Downstream impact: None expected (these were internally used).
C-APIs changed:
* mlirRegisterAllDialects(MlirContext) now takes an MlirDialectRegistry instead. It also used to trigger loading of all dialects, which was already marked with a TODO to remove -- it no longer does, and for direct use, dialects must be explicitly loaded. Downstream impact: Direct C-API users must ensure that needed dialects are loaded or call `mlirContextLoadAllAvailableDialects(MlirContext)` to emulate the prior behavior. Also see the `ir.c` test case (e.g. ` mlirContextGetOrLoadDialect(ctx, mlirStringRefCreateFromCString("func"));`).
* mlirDialectHandle* APIs were moved from Registration.h (which now is restricted to just global/upstream registration) to IR.h, arguably where it should have been. Downstream impact: include correct header (likely already doing so).
C-APIs added:
* mlirContextLoadAllAvailableDialects(MlirContext): Corresponds to C++ API with the same purpose.
Python APIs added:
* mlir.ir.DialectRegistry: Mapping for an MlirDialectRegistry.
* mlir.ir.Context.append_dialect_registry(MlirDialectRegistry)
* mlir.ir.Context.load_all_available_dialects()
* mlir._mlir_libs._mlirAllRegistration: New native extension that exposes a `register_dialects(MlirDialectRegistry)` entry point and performs all upstream pass/conversion/transforms registration on init. In this first step, we eagerly load this as part of the __init__.py and use it to monkey patch the Context to emulate prior behavior.
* Type caster and capsule support for MlirDialectRegistry
This should make it possible to build downstream Python dialects that only depend on a subset of MLIR. See: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56037
Here is an example PR, minimally adapting IREE to these changes: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/pull/9638/files In this situation, IREE is opting to not link everything, since it is already configuring the Context to its liking. For projects that would just like to not think about it and pull in everything, add `MLIRPythonExtension.RegisterEverything` to the list of Python sources getting built, and the old behavior will continue.

the C API will have reference to "Identifier", but those will be reworked in a followup.
The main updates are:
* Identifier -> StringAttr
* StringAttr::get requires the context as the first parameter

NamedAttribute is currently represented as an std::pair, but this
creates an extremely clunky .first/.second API. This commit

and also opens the door for more convenient API in the future.

The current implementation is quite clunky; OperationName stores either an Identifier
or an AbstractOperation that corresponds to an operation. This has several problems:
* OperationNames created before and after an operation are registered are different
* Accessing the identifier name/dialect/etc. from an OperationName are overly branchy
- they need to dyn_cast a PointerUnion to check the state
This commit refactors this such that we create a single information struct for every
operation name, even operations that aren't registered yet. When an OperationName is
created for an unregistered operation, we only populate the name field. When the
operation is registered, we populate the remaining fields. With this we now have two
new classes: OperationName and RegisteredOperationName. These both point to the
same underlying operation information struct, but only RegisteredOperationName can
assume that the operation is actually registered. This leads to a much cleaner API, and
we can also move some AbstractOperation functionality directly to OperationName.

Identifier and StringAttr essentially serve the same purpose, i.e. to hold a string value. Keeping these seemingly identical pieces of functionality separate has caused problems in certain situations:
* Identifier has nice accessors that StringAttr doesn't
* Identifier can't be used as an Attribute, meaning strings are often duplicated between Identifier/StringAttr (e.g. in PDL)
The only thing that Identifier has that StringAttr doesn't is support for caching a dialect that is referenced by the string (e.g. dialect.foo). This functionality is added to StringAttr, as this is useful for StringAttr in generally the same ways it was useful for Identifier.

These properties were useful for a few things before traits had a better integration story, but don't really carry their weight well these days. Most of these properties are already checked via traits in most of the code. It is better to align the system around traits, and improve the performance/cost of traits in general.

* Adds a flag to MlirOperationState to enable result type inference using the InferTypeOpInterface.
* I chose this level of implementation for a couple of reasons:
a) In the creation flow is naturally where generated and custom builder code will be invoking such a thing
b) it is a bit more efficient to share the data structure and unpacking vs having a standalone entry-point
c) we can always decide to expose more of these interfaces with first-class APIs, but that doesn't preclude that we will always want to use this one in this way (and less API surface area for common things is better for API stability and evolution).
* I struggled to find an appropriate way to test it since we don't link the test dialect into anything CAPI accessible at present. I opted instead for one of the simplest ops I found in a regular dialect which implements the interface.
* This does not do any trait-based type selection. That will be left to generated tablegen wrappers.

This class used to serve a few useful purposes:
* Allowed containing a null DictionaryAttr
* Provided some simple mutable API around a DictionaryAttr
The first of which is no longer an issue now that there is much better caching support for attributes in general, and a cache in the context for empty dictionaries. The second results in more trouble than it's worth because it mutates the internal dictionary on every action, leading to a potentially large number of dictionary copies. NamedAttrList is a much better alternative for the second use case, and should be modified as needed to better fit it's usage as a DictionaryAttrBuilder.
