It may be desirable to provide an interface implementation for an attribute or
a type without modifying the definition of said attribute or type. Notably,
this allows to implement interfaces for attributes and types outside of the
dialect that defines them and, in particular, provide interfaces for built-in
types. Provide the mechanism to do so.
Currently, separable registration requires the attribute or type to have been
registered with the context, i.e. for the dialect containing the attribute or
type to be loaded. This can be relaxed in the future using a mechanism similar
to delayed dialect interface registration.

This allows for storage instances to store data that isn't uniqued in the context, or contain otherwise non-trivial logic, in the rare situations that they occur. Storage instances with trivial destructors will still have their destructor skipped. A consequence of this is that the storage instance definition must be visible from the place that registers the type.

This allows the caller to distinguish between a parse error or an
unmatched keyword. It fixes the redundant error that was emitted by the
caller when the generated parser would fail.

The value type of the attribute can be specified by either overriding the typeBuilder field on the AttrDef, or by providing a parameter of type `AttributeSelfTypeParameter`. This removes the need to define custom storage class constructors for attributes that have a value type other than NoneType.

The support for attributes closely maps that of Types (basically 1-1) given that Attributes are defined in exactly the same way as Types. All of the current ODS TypeDef classes get an Attr equivalent. The generation of the attribute classes themselves share the same generator as types.
