Historically, the LLVM IR dialect has been using the generic form of MLIR
operation syntax. It is verbose and often redundant. Introduce the custom
printing and parsing for all existing operations in the LLVM IR dialect.
Update the relevant documentation and tests.

Example:
%call:2 = call @multi_return() : () -> (f32, i32)
use(%calltensorflow/mlir#0, %calltensorflow/mlir#1)
This cl also adds parser support for uniquely named result values. This means that a test writer can now write something like:
%foo, %bar = call @multi_return() : () -> (f32, i32)
use(%foo, %bar)
Note: The printer will still print the collapsed form.

The spec allows zero-dimensional memrefs to exist and treats them essentially
as single-element buffers. Unlike single-dimensional memrefs of static shape
<1xTy>, zero-dimensional memrefs do not require indices to access the only
element they store. Add support of zero-dimensional memrefs to the LLVM IR
conversion. In particular, such memrefs are converted into bare pointers, and
accesses to them are converted to bare loads and stores, without the overhead
of `getelementptr %buffer, 0`.

When lowering to MLIR(LLVMDialect) we unbox the structs that result
from converting static memrefs, that is, singleton structs
that just contain a raw pointer. This allows us to get rid of all
"extractvalue" instructions in the common case where shapes are fully
known.

Since the goal of the LLVM IR dialect is to reflect LLVM IR in MLIR, the
dialect and the conversion procedure must account for the differences betweeen
block arguments and LLVM IR PHI nodes. In particular, LLVM IR disallows PHI
nodes with different values coming from the same source. Therefore, the LLVM IR
dialect now disallows `cond_br` operations that have identical successors
accepting arguments, which would lead to invalid PHI nodes. The conversion
process resolves the potential PHI source ambiguity by injecting dummy blocks
if the same block is used more than once as a successor in an instruction.
These dummy blocks branch unconditionally to the original successors, pass them
the original operands (available in the dummy block because it is dominated by
the original block) and are used instead of them in the original terminator
operation.

Add a documentation page on the key points of the conversion to LLVM IR. This
focuses on the aspects of conversion that are relevant for integration of the
LLVM IR dialect (and produced LLVM IR that is mostly a one-to-one translation)
into other projects. In particular, it describes the type conversion rules and
the memref model supporting dynamic sizes.
