Enable building using LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS. (#152)
This allows building NPCOMP as an external project of LLVM, similar to
how CIRCT can be built: https://github.com/llvm/circt/pull/227.

The CMake options to use this build style look like this:

```
  -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS=npcomp \
  -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_NPCOMP_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/mlir-npcomp \
```

NPComp - Frontends

NPComp maintains in-tree frontends for various popular numeric-python based frameworks. In general these are:

  • Considered optional components
  • Target dialects maintained at the top-level of the project
  • Maintained in isolation so as to facilitate moving them out to dedicated projects at an appropriate point of the lifecycle (i.e. if NPComp is successful as a general purpose target for such frameworks, then it may make sense to contribute/build each frontend to their respective up-stream project).

Frontends try to stylistically fit into the outer project except for when it is more clear/advantageous to align them with the conventions of the source project. This is approached on a case by case basis as needed. Deviations should be documented in a local style guide for the frontend.
