[mlir][Transforms] Dialect conversion: Simplify handling of dropped arguments (#97213)

This commit simplifies the handling of dropped arguments and updates
some dialect conversion documentation that is outdated.

When converting a block signature, a `BlockTypeConversionRewrite` object
and potentially multiple `ReplaceBlockArgRewrite` are created. During
the "commit" phase, uses of the old block arguments are replaced with
the new block arguments, but the old implementation was written in an
inconsistent way: some block arguments were replaced in
`BlockTypeConversionRewrite::commit` and some were replaced in
`ReplaceBlockArgRewrite::commit`. The new
`BlockTypeConversionRewrite::commit` implementation is much simpler and
no longer modifies any IR; that is done only in `ReplaceBlockArgRewrite`
now. The `ConvertedArgInfo` data structure is no longer needed.

To that end, materializations of dropped arguments are now built in
`applySignatureConversion` instead of `materializeLiveConversions`; the
latter function no longer has to deal with dropped arguments.

Other minor improvements:
- Add more comments to `applySignatureConversion`.

Note: Error messages around failed materializations for dropped basic
block arguments changed slightly. That is because those materializations
are now built in `legalizeUnresolvedMaterialization` instead of
`legalizeConvertedArgumentTypes`.

This commit is in preparation of decoupling argument/source/target
materializations from the dialect conversion.

This is a re-upload of #96207.

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.
