[MLIR][Python] reland (narrower) type stub generation (#157930)

This a reland of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/155741 which
was reverted at https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/157831. This
version is narrower in scope - it only turns on automatic stub
generation for `MLIRPythonExtension.Core._mlir` and **does not do
anything automatically**. Specifically, the only CMake code added to
`AddMLIRPython.cmake` is the `mlir_generate_type_stubs` function which
is then used only in a manual way. The API for
`mlir_generate_type_stubs` is:

```
Arguments:
  MODULE_NAME: The fully-qualified name of the extension module (used for importing in python).
  DEPENDS_TARGETS: List of targets these type stubs depend on being built; usually corresponding to the
    specific extension module (e.g., something like StandalonePythonModules.extension._standaloneDialectsNanobind.dso)
    and the core bindings extension module (e.g., something like StandalonePythonModules.extension._mlir.dso).
  OUTPUT_DIR: The root output directory to emit the type stubs into.
  OUTPUTS: List of expected outputs.
  DEPENDS_TARGET_SRC_DEPS: List of cpp sources for extension library (for generating a DEPFILE).
  IMPORT_PATHS: List of paths to add to PYTHONPATH for stubgen.
  PATTERN_FILE: (Optional) Pattern file (see https://nanobind.readthedocs.io/en/latest/typing.html#pattern-files).
Outputs:
  NB_STUBGEN_CUSTOM_TARGET: The target corresponding to generation which other targets can depend on.
```

Downstream users should use `mlir_generate_type_stubs` in coordination
with `declare_mlir_python_sources` to turn on stub generation for their
own downstream dialect extensions and upstream dialect extensions if
they so choose. Standalone example shows an example.

Note, downstream will also need to set
`-DMLIR_PYTHON_PACKAGE_PREFIX=...` correctly for their bindings.

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
