* Most updates are mechanical except:
* python/npcomp/__init__.py and python/NpcompModule.cpp: New init/registration bits to replace some automatic things being done in the old bindings. Also an annoying linkage hack that I'll need to triage next.
* NpcompModule.cpp: New python helpers for custom types and other hard to reach items (for the new bindings).
* PybindUtils.h: Extended type casting so that the local extension can directly exchange Mlir* C types.
* python/npcomp/dialects/*: Build support and ODS bindings for local dialects.
* mlir_utils.py: Defines an ImportContext to replace the old/bad "Helper" class that tracked locations, and insertion points. This has a number of methods on it that would be good candidates to think about better ways to do them upstream.
* Also hoisted a few stand-alone samples to dedicated unit tests as they covered important things.
* More cleanup can be done, but keeping this patch as mechanical as possible to stay in NFC land (this is big enough).
* This elides the very common code the compiler adds for chaining otherwise tensor-related numpy ops together.
* More aggressive canonicalizations would require more advanced analysis.
* Adds an op interface for adding CPA constraints.
* Adds a type conversion hook for handling built-in types (that we can't have adopt our interface).
* Converts tensor<> to object(!Tensor, [e:<type>]) just like NdArray.
* Implement a few numpy ops far enough to do dtype inference for simple sequences.
