Sean Silva 28a7738189 [torch-mlir earthmoving (1/N)] C/C++ code movement.
This creates the `external/torch-mlir` directory as an
LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS-compatible project (analogous to
`iree-dialects`) and completes movement/rename of all pure MLIR C/C++
compiler code into there. The next step will be to move all the Python
code / code that links/includes PyTorch C++ code (which currently lives
in `frontends/pytorch`) into a subdirectory here.

I call this "earthmoving" because it is mostly mechanical changes and
renames. As a quick summary (we can change this down the road easily)
- C++ `mlir::NPCOMP::Torch -> mlir::torch::Torch`
- CAPI `npcompTorchListTypeGet -> torchMlirTorchListTypeGet`
- preprocessor `#ifndef NPCOMP_ -> #ifndef TORCHMLIR_`
- CMake `NPCOMPFoo -> TorchMLIRFoo`

The goal of this is to create a standalone project creating a center of
mass for entry into the MLIR ecosystem from PyTorch, suitable in scope
for eventual inclusion/ownership in PyTorch. The idea is that
`external/torch-mlir` will some day be pulled out into its own
repository, and then npcomp will simply pull it in as a submodule.

Layering-wise, what lives in `torch-mlir` lowers code from PyTorch
(currently TorchScript, but TorchFX or pytorch/xla-style tracing are
possible extensions) down to what we have been calling the "Torch
backend contract" which is cleaned up IR (inlining, simplifcation,
conversion to value tensors, ...) entirely in the `torch` dialect. This
is the branching off point for further lowering, of which npcomp takes
one opinion (outside `torch-mlir` of course!), namely the
`TorchConversion` dialect/transforms which lower to IR suitable for IREE
and other linalg-on-tensors based lower-level compilers.

Summary of changes:
- move `{include,lib,test}/Dialect/Torch` into `torch-mlir`
- move relevant parts of CAPI into `torch-mlir`.
- leave a few things related to the `torch-mlir` Python build commented
  out, which should be resolved in a subsequent change.

Sean Silva 2efda323ff Significantly restructure torch/aten import design.
This is a really major and invasive restructuring of the way we get
torch operators (`torch::jit::Operator` / `c10::OperatorHandle`) into
MLIR. Please forgive the challenging review, but due to the sheer
invasiveness, it wasn't really practical do do it in sane smaller
pieces.

This fully replaces everything that was already working on the
TorchScript path (actually, more -- we added tanh support to
TorchToLinalg in order to delete the older code paths). Additionally,
I've kept the lights on for the acap path too, including what little e2e
stuff was working before (for expediency I made a few tiny compromises
along the way that will be easy to undo when we give that path proper
attention).

Overview of the new design:
- The torch operator `somens::someunqualname.someoverloadname` is
  imported as `torch.somens.someunqualname.someoverloadname` (skip the
  last dotted part if the overload name is empty), OR, if we don't have
  such an op registered, it is imported as
  `torch.operator "somens.someunqualname.someoverloadname" (...) : ...`.
  - The addition of the "overload name" is a critical element here, as
    the `(ns,unqual,overload)` triple is unique, which solves a lot of
    problems we were having.
  - This involves having separate MLIR ops for the `trailing_` and
    `.out` variants and all the different overloads. This seemed
    necessary, because the set of overloads is so wild and varied and
    unstructured. The previous design was leaning into some underlying
    structure that just isn't there -- the default situation is
    the "random overload that we want to manage on the MLIR side",
    rather than that being an exception. E.g.  `aten::ne` (not-equal)
    has 21 overloads, only 4 of which are c10 dispatcher ops see
    [gist](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/190ba918c550c956260e21254e1b8aa1),
    and the "out" variant is really called `.Tensor_out` instead of
    `.out` as it frequently is for other ops.
  - Rationale for all being in `torch` namespace: the set of operators
    are so varied and unstructured that "dialect per namespace"
    doesn't result in anything resembling the typical MLIR dialect
    boundary expectations. We could maybe draw the boundary at
    dispatcher ops vs non-dispatcher ops, but that doesn't seem to
    really result in very much useful structure at this point in time.
  - Note: within the torch operator registry, we effectively have a
    mini-basicpy subdialect (already type-resolved), which is reasonably
    structured.
  - The existing Torch op interfaces are also removed -- now that we
    track the overload name, we can losslessly find the original
    operator.
- Instead of `ATenRecognizeKernelsPass`, we now have a
  `ReduceOpVariantsPass` that keys off certain traits (and perhaps
  eventually interfaces) to reduce variants of ops to a smaller set,
  ideally operating on immutable tensors and using surrounding ops to
  model the mutability/aliasing aspects.
  - Note: `torch.ns.unqual.overload` ops allow both immutable and
    mutable tensors (unlike the previous hard distinction in the common
    case). This is a premonition for a future change that will introduce a
    bona fide `!torch.tensor` type that will clean up a bunch of stuff.
- `TorchToLinalg` / `TorchToStd` supercede the existing
  "ATen->TCF->TCP->Linalg" path.
- The new `torch_ods_gen.py` supercedes `torch_signature_ods_gen.py`.
  It should look somewhat familiar, but the benefit of hindsight has
  allowed a lot of simplifications.

The overall trend seems to be to make the `torch` dialect a nice layer
independent of anything else. It feels like as a natural result of
various future changes we will be removing the reliance on basicpy+numpy
dialects and have a nice self-contained type system too that properly
models the TorchScript type system (including proper subtyping,
mutable/immutable tensors, optional dtype, etc.).

Recommended review order:
- Start at some of the new import IR, e.g. in
  `frontends/pytorch/test/node_import/prim.py`,
  `frontends/pytorch/test/acap_export/test_export_add3.py`, and other
  tests.
- `frontends/pytorch/python/torch_mlir_utils/codegen/torch_ods_gen.py`
  and associated generated files:
  - `include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/IR/GeneratedAtenOps.td`
  - `include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/IR/GeneratedPrimOps.td`
- Inspect `ReduceOpVariants.cpp` / `reduce-op-variants.mlir` and the new
  traits in `include/npcomp/Dialect/Torch/IR/TorchTraits.h`
- Various code changes in the import path in
  `frontends/pytorch/csrc/builder`. Probably most interesting is the new
  code in `torch_to_mlir_utils.cpp` that has the logic to create the
  `torch.operator` ops or `torch.ns.unqual.overload` ops.

This is the [new ResNet IR](https://gist.github.com/silvasean/5407aafb710d07612b7b5b92eabecebe),
just to be able to look at a substantial sample of IR in the new style.
