Théo Degioanni f88f8fd0bc [mlir] Add a generic mem2reg implementation. ...

This patch introduces a generic implementation of mem2reg on
unstructured control-flow, along with a specialization for LLVM IR. This
is achieved by defining three new interfaces, representing 1. allocating
operations, 2. operations doing memory accesses, 3. operations that can
be rewired and/or deleted to stop using a specific use.

The file containing the core implementation of the algorithm
(`Mem2Reg.cpp`) contains a detailed explanation of how the algorithm
works. The contract for this pass is that given a memory slot with a
single non-aliased pointer, the pass will either remove all the uses of
the pointer or not change anything.

To help review this patch, I recommend starting by looking at the
interfaces defined in `Mem2Reg.td`, along with their reference
implementation for LLVM IR defined in `LLVMMem2Reg.cpp`. Then, the core
algorithm is implemented in `Mem2Reg.cpp`.

If this is all good I also have an implementation of the interfaces for
0-dimensional memref promotion that I can upstream afterwards.
