[mlir][Transforms] Dialect conversion: Context-aware type conversions (#140434)

This commit adds support for context-aware type conversions: type
conversion rules that can return different types depending on the IR.

There is no change for existing (context-unaware) type conversion rules:
```c++
// Example: Conversion any integer type to f32.
converter.addConversion([](IntegerType t) {
  return Float32Type::get(t.getContext());
}
```

There is now an additional overload to register context-aware type
conversion rules:
```c++
// Example: Type conversion rule for integers, depending on the context:
// Get the defining op of `v`, read its "increment" attribute and return an
// integer with a bitwidth that is increased by "increment".
converter.addConversion([](Value v) -> std::optional<Type> {
  auto intType = dyn_cast<IntegerType>(v.getType());
  if (!intType)
    return std::nullopt;
  Operation *op = v.getDefiningOp();
  if (!op)
    return std::nullopt;
  auto incrementAttr = op->getAttrOfType<IntegerAttr>("increment");
  if (!incrementAttr)
    return std::nullopt;
  return IntegerType::get(v.getContext(),
                          intType.getWidth() + incrementAttr.getInt());
});
```

For performance reasons, the type converter caches the result of type
conversions. This is no longer possible when there context-aware type
conversions because each conversion could compute a different type
depending on the context. There is no performance degradation when there
are only context-unaware type conversions.

Note: This commit just adds context-aware type conversions to the
dialect conversion framework. There are many existing patterns that
still call `converter.convertType(someValue.getType())`. These should be
gradually updated in subsequent commits to call
`converter.convertType(someValue)`.

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.
