Continue the convergence between LLVM dialect and built-in types by using the
built-in vector type whenever possible, that is for fixed vectors of built-in
integers and built-in floats. LLVM dialect vector type is still in use for
pointers, less frequent floating point types that do not have a built-in
equivalent, and scalable vectors. However, the top-level `LLVMVectorType` class
has been removed in favor of free functions capable of inspecting both built-in
and LLVM dialect vector types: `LLVM::getVectorElementType`,
`LLVM::getNumVectorElements` and `LLVM::getFixedVectorType`. Additional work is
necessary to design an implemented the extensions to built-in types so as to
remove the `LLVMFixedVectorType` entirely.
Note that the default output format for the built-in vectors does not have
whitespace around the `x` separator, e.g., `vector<4xf32>` as opposed to the
LLVM dialect vector type format that does, e.g., `!llvm.vec<4 x fp128>`. This
required changing the FileCheck patterns in several tests.

Continue the convergence between LLVM dialect and built-in types by replacing
the bfloat, half, float and double LLVM dialect types with their built-in
counterparts. At the API level, this is a direct replacement. At the syntax
level, we change the keywords to `bf16`, `f16`, `f32` and `f64`, respectively,
to be compatible with the built-in type syntax. The old keywords can still be
parsed but produce a deprecation warning and will be eventually removed.

The LLVM dialect type system has been closed until now, i.e. did not support
types from other dialects inside containers. While this has had obvious
benefits of deriving from a common base class, it has led to some simple types
being almost identical with the built-in types, namely integer and floating
point types. This in turn has led to a lot of larger-scale complexity: simple
types must still be converted, numerous operations that correspond to LLVM IR
intrinsics are replicated to produce versions operating on either LLVM dialect
or built-in types leading to quasi-duplicate dialects, lowering to the LLVM
dialect is essentially required to be one-shot because of type conversion, etc.
In this light, it is reasonable to trade off some local complexity in the
internal implementation of LLVM dialect types for removing larger-scale system
complexity. Previous commits to the LLVM dialect type system have adapted the
API to support types from other dialects.
Replace LLVMIntegerType with the built-in IntegerType plus additional checks
that such types are signless (these are isolated in a utility function that
replaced `isa<LLVMType>` and in the parser). Temporarily keep the possibility
to parse `!llvm.i32` as a synonym for `i32`, but add a deprecation notice.

This was long overdue. The initial documentation for the LLVM dialect was
introduced before ODS had support for long descriptions. This is now possible,
so the documentation is moved to ODS, which can serve as a single source of
truth. The high-level description of the dialect structure is updated to
reflect that.

This is part of a larger refactoring the better congregates the builtin structures under the BuiltinDialect. This also removes the problematic "standard" naming that clashes with the "standard" dialect, which is not defined within IR/. A temporary forward is placed in StandardTypes.h to allow time for downstream users to replaced references.

`llvm.mlir.constant` was originally introduced as an LLVM dialect counterpart
to `std.constant`. As such, it was supporting "function pointer" constants
derived from the symbol name. This is different from `std.constant` that allows
for creation of a "function" constant since MLIR, unlike LLVM IR, supports
this. Later, `llvm.mlir.addressof` was introduced as an Op that obtains a
constant pointer to a global in the LLVM dialect. It naturally extends to
functions (in LLVM IR, functions are globals) and should be used for defining
"function pointer" values instead.
Fixes PR46344.

Similarly to actual LLVM IR, and to `llvm.mlir.func`, allow the custom syntax
of `llvm.mlir.global` to omit the linkage keyword. If omitted, the linkage is
assumed to be external. This makes the modeling of globals in the LLVM dialect
more consistent, both within the dialect and with LLVM IR.

Summary:
LLVM IR functions can have arbitrary attributes attached to them, some of which
affect may affect code transformations. Until we can model all attributes
consistently, provide a pass-through mechanism that forwards attributes from
the LLVMFuncOp in MLIR to LLVM IR functions during translation. This mechanism
relies on LLVM IR being able to recognize string representations of the
attributes and performs some additional checking to avoid hitting assertions
within LLVM code.

Summary:
This revision performs a lot of different cleanups on operation documentation to ensure that they are consistent, e.g. using mlir code blocks, formatting, etc.
This revision also includes the auto-generated documentation into the hand-written documentation for the dialects that have a specific top-level dialect file. This updates the documentation for all dialects aside from SPIRV and STD. These dialects will be updated in a followup.
