Refactor pass pipeline command line parsing to support explicit pipeline strings.
This allows for explicitly specifying the pipeline to add to the pass manager. This includes the nesting structure, as well as the passes/pipelines to run. A textual pipeline string is defined as a series of names, each of which may in itself recursively contain a nested pipeline description. A name is either the name of a registered pass, or pass pipeline, (e.g. "cse") or the name of an operation type (e.g. "func").
For example, the following pipeline:
$ mlir-opt foo.mlir -cse -canonicalize -lower-to-llvm
Could now be specified as:
$ mlir-opt foo.mlir -pass-pipeline='func(cse, canonicalize), lower-to-llvm'
This will allow for running pipelines on nested operations, like say spirv modules. This does not remove any of the current functionality, and in fact can be used in unison. The new option is available via 'pass-pipeline'.
