This is a first step towards formalizing the set of ops in our backend
contract. The goal is to eventually formalize `torch` dialect ops into 3
categories:
1. Legal in backend contract
2. Illegal in backend contract
3. Conditionally legal in backend contract
The "conditionally legal" set are the ops that we can optionally
decompose for backends.
This patch adds relevant pass options for this throughout the compiler,
in preparation for a new set of traits which will formalize this
classification.
This introduces a new pass LowerToBackendContract (better name very
welcome) which performs the bulk of the simplifications that we do,
such as
- shape refinement
- dtype refinement
- maximizing value semantics
- inlining global slots
- decomposing complex ops
The key difference from before is that it iterates the set of
transformations, which can help to break a number of "catch-22" issues
where one simplification depends on another, the latest example being
here:
https://github.com/llvm/torch-mlir/issues/1131
This also exposed that RefineTypes was sometimes crashing/asserting for
certain inputs. This commit hardens it a bit.
