[mlir] Add option to disable MLIR Python dev package configuration. (#117934) Adds a CMake option MLIR_DISABLE_CONFIGURE_PYTHON_DEV_PACKAGES which gates doing package discovery and configuration for Python dev packages by MLIR (this was made opt-out to preserve compatibility with find_package(MLIR) based uses which do not set the standard options). The default Python setup that MLIR does has been a problem for super-projects that include LLVM for a long time because it forces a very specific package discovery mechanism that is not uniform in all uses. When reviewing #117922, I noted that this would effectively be a break the world event for downstreams, forcing them to adapt their nanobind dep to the exact way that MLIR does it. Adding the option to just wholesale skip the built-in configuration heuristics at least gives us a mechanism to tell downstreams to migrate to, giving them complete control and not requiring packaging workarounds. This seemed a better option than (once again) creating a situation where downstreams could not integrate the dep change without doing tricky infra upgrades, and it removes the burden from the author of that patch from needing to think about how this affects super-projects that include MLIR (i.e. they can just be told to do it themselves as needed vs being in a wedged state and unable to upgrade).
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
