The first use case is to annotate certain program constructs as either
exported or private. In this commit we plumb it down to
GlobalizeObjectGraph which makes use of this information.
Recommended review order:
1. class_annotator.h/.cpp + `test/module_import/annotations/*`
- New abstractions to communicate with Python code and annotate.
2. IR changes in TorchOps.td
- Adding "private" attribute to various things.
3. ivalue_import.cpp changes
- Module + ClassAnnotator = annotated IR
4. GlobalizeObjectGraph.cpp + tests
- use new "private" attributes to create "private" IR.
- also, tweak some of the op deleting mechanics, which was triggering
some memory errors / assertions
With this, we can run the classifier through and inline it as follows:
```
frontends/pytorch/utils/pt_util.py --import --exported-name forward ~/tmp/classifier.pt \
| npcomp-opt -torch-globalize-object-graph -inline
```

It turns out that this was easiest to structure as a general IValue
importer, since torch module are just one of the possible IValue's.
We import the IValue object graph in a braindead fashion into basicpy
ops and a new `torch.nn_module` op that is used to model the
attributes/methods of a torch::jit::Module IValue. See `Torch/ops.mlir`
for an example, and also check out the .py import tests in
`frontends/pytorch/test/module_import`.
As part of this change, a few housekeeping tasks:
- extract some helpers from graph_importer.cpp
- more helpers around the C API
- misc touchups
* This has been anticipated for a long time in that it is quite hard to keep C++ binary compatibility across a system landscape as diverse as PyTorch, LLVM, and this project. This is why we based the PyTorch extension on the MLIR and NPCOMP C APIs only: that is the only sane linkage story for the entire matrix.
* Removes the few LLVM'isms in torch_mlir that had snuck in, using either STL or PyTorch support utilities. The new rule here is that LLVM C++ includes are forbidden at this level and (as stated in the design), torch_mlir should use the PyTorch runtime and support libraries (not introduce an incidental C++ dependency on LLVM).
* Also deletes mnist-playground as it was proving impossible to keep the grid of PyTorch vs system ABI divisions functioning. I am open to a less drastic course here (optional/disabled by default?)
* This gets us pretty close to just using PyTorch's extension builder API, which will be nice for distribution (i.e. it integrates well with the PyTorch ecosystem for deployment). I ended up just simplifying the in-tree CMake support for now.
* Fixes#138
* Does not handle all features yet but should conservatively fail on unsupported things.
* Location tracking is still somewhat mismatched between what TorchScript and MLIR do. Likely need a better heuristic for tracking locations from defs for nodes that do not carry location.
* Sets the ground-work for a specialized/generic split but only implements the generic side.
* Had some evidence that this requires a recent bump of PT nightly (within the last month) to pick up pybind11 2.6, which includes some cross-module symbol fixes (vs the previously sync'd version). No source changes, but older versions fail to cast function types at runtime.
