Reference Lazy Backend (#1045)

* Changed Example MLIR backend to Reference MLIR backend

* Moved reference_ltc_backend into csrc

* Merged sys_utils.h

* Renamed reference_ltc_backend to reference_lazy_backend

* Addressed review comments

* Update docs with new library name

* Removed _REFERENCE_LAZY_BACKEND from .gitignore

* Added reference_lazy_backend to the TorchMLIRPythonModules dependency list

Fixed typo in `ltc_examples.md`

Missed instance where `ltc_backend` was used instead of `lazy_backend`.

 ## Implementing a custom backend
 
-An example implementation of a custom backend is available [here](../examples/ltc_backend/ltc_backend). 
+A reference implementation of a custom backend is available [here](../python/torch_mlir/csrc/reference_lazy_backend/). 
 All the work involved with generating MLIR is handled in the base LTC backend, so vendors only need to worry about implementing `Compile`, `ExecuteComputation`, and some other minor methods to interface with the device.
 
 A pybind is needed to invoke C++ code to register the autogen PyTorch kernels and the custom backend itself.
-Most of the code in the example implementation should be reusable, excluding some debug related function (e.g. `get_latest_computation`).
+Most of the code in the reference implementation should be reusable, excluding some debug related function (e.g. `get_latest_computation`).
 
 ## Future Expansion
 
 There are a number of areas for future improvement:
 - Generate source information in `jit::Graph` so it can be embedded in the MLIR
-- Currently the example backend implementation executes via the `jit::Graph` instead of the MLIR since we currently lack lowerings for many ops, which would make it difficult to run models such as HF BERT
+- Currently the reference backend implementation executes via the `jit::Graph` instead of the MLIR since we currently lack lowerings for many ops, which would make it difficult to run models such as HF BERT
   - In the future, we should change the implementation to lower the MLIR to linalg and execute on a reference backend
 - As new models get tested, we will inevitably run into errors related to unimplemented shape inference functions.
 This problem is simply solved by implementing the missing function, or adding a structured kernel to PyTorch.
