This revision extends the LLVMImportDialectInterface to make the import
of LLVM IR instruction-level metadata extensible. It extends the
signature of the existing dialect interface to provide a method to
import specific metadata kinds and attach them to the imported
operation. The conversion function can rely on the ModuleImport class
to perform support tasks.
The revision implements the second part of the
"extensible llvm ir import" rfc:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-extensible-llvm-ir-import/67256/6
The interface method names changed a bit compared to the suggested
design. The hook to set the instruction level metadata is now called
setMetadataAttrs and takes the metadata kind as an additional parameter.
We do not hand in the original LLVM IR instruction since it is not used
at this point. Importing named module-level meta data can be added in a
later stage after gaining some experience with this extension mechanism.
Depends on D140374
