This simplifies a few parts of the pass manager, but in particular we don't add as many
verifierpass as there are passes in the pipeline, and we can now enable/disable the
verifier after the fact on an already built PassManager.

It would be nice if we could detect if stats were enabled or not and use 'Requires', but this isn't possible to do at configure time.

Statistics are a way to keep track of what the compiler is doing and how effective various optimizations are. It is useful to see what optimizations are contributing to making a particular program run faster. Pass-instance specific statistics take this even further as you can see the effect of placing a particular pass at specific places within the pass pipeline, e.g. they could help answer questions like "what happens if I run CSE again here".
Statistics can be added to a pass by simply adding members of type 'Pass::Statistics'. This class takes as a constructor arguments: the parent pass pointer, a name, and a description. Statistics can be dumped by the pass manager in a similar manner to how pass timing information is dumped, i.e. via PassManager::enableStatistics programmatically; or -pass-statistics and -pass-statistics-display via the command line pass manager options.
Below is an example:
struct MyPass : public OperationPass<MyPass> {
Statistic testStat{this, "testStat", "A test statistic"};
void runOnOperation() {
...
++testStat;
...
}
};
$ mlir-opt -pass-pipeline='func(my-pass,my-pass)' foo.mlir -pass-statistics
