[mlir][Transforms] Dialect conversion: add `originalType` param to materializations (#112128)

This commit adds an optional `originalType` parameter to target
materialization functions. Without this parameter, target
materializations are underspecified.

Note: `originalType` is only needed for target materializations.
Source/argument materializations do not have it.

Consider the following example: Let's assume that a conversion pattern
"P1" replaced an SSA value "v1" (type "t1") with "v2" (type "t2"). Then
a different conversion pattern "P2" matches an op that has "v1" as an
operand. Let's furthermore assume that "P2" determines that the
legalized type of "t1" is "t3", which may be different from "t2". In
this example, the target materialization callback will be invoked with:
outputType = "t3", inputs = "v2", originalType = "t1". Note that the
original type "t1" cannot be recovered from just "t3" and "v2"; that's
why the `originalType` parameter is added.

This change is in preparation of merging the 1:1 and 1:N dialect
conversion drivers. As part of that change, argument materializations
will be removed (as they are no longer needed; they were just a
workaround because of missing 1:N support in the dialect conversion).
The new `originalType` parameter is needed when lowering MemRef to LLVM.
During that lowering, MemRef function block arguments are replaced with
the elements that make up a MemRef descriptor. The type converter is set
up in such a way that the legalized type of a MemRef type is an
`!llvm.struct` that represents the MemRef descriptor. When the bare
pointer calling convention is enabled, the function block arguments
consist of just an LLVM pointer. In such a case, a target
materialization will be invoked to construct a MemRef descriptor (output
type = `!llvm.struct<...>`) from just the bare pointer (inputs =
`!llvm.ptr`). The original MemRef type is required to construct the
MemRef descriptor, as static sizes/strides/offset cannot be inferred
from just the bare pointer.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
