Summary:
the .row.col variant turns out to be the popular one, contrary to what I
thought as .row.row. Since .row.col is so prevailing (as I inspect
cuDNN's behavior), I'm going to remove the .row.row support here, which
makes the patch a little bit easier.

Both work for the current use case, but the latter allows implementing
prefix sums and is a little easier to understand for partial warps.

nvvm.shfl.sync.bfly optionally returns a predicate whether source lane was active. Support for this was added to clang in https://reviews.llvm.org/D68892.
Add an optional 'pred' unit attribute to the instruction to return this predicate. Specify this attribute in the partial warp reduction so we don't need to manually compute the predicate.

This function-like operation allows one to define functions that have wrapped
LLVM IR function type, in particular variadic functions. The operation was
added in parallel to the existing lowering flow, this commit only switches the
flow to use it.
Using a custom function type makes the LLVM IR dialect type system more
consistent and avoids complex conversion rules for functions that previously
had to use the built-in function type instead of a wrapped LLVM IR dialect type
and perform conversions during the analysis.

PTX backend in LLVM expects additional module-level metadata
`!nvvm.annotations` that lists functions that can be used as GPU kernels.
Generate this metadata based on the `gpu.kernel` attribute attached to
functions. This attribute is added automatically by the kernel outlining pass
in the GPU dialect lowering flow.
