Numerous MLIR functions return instances of `StringRef` to refer to a
non-owning fragment of a string (usually owned by the context). This is a
relatively simple class that is defined in LLVM. Provide a simple wrapper in
the MLIR C API that contains the pointer and length of the string fragment and
use it for Standard attribute functions that return StringRef instead of the
previous, callback-based mechanism.

Provide C API for MLIR standard attributes. Since standard attributes live
under lib/IR in core MLIR, place the C APIs in the IR library as well (standard
ops will go in a separate library).
Affine map and integer set attributes are only exposed as placeholder types
with IsA support due to the lack of C APIs for the corresponding types.
Integer and floating point attribute APIs expecting APInt and APFloat are not
exposed pending decision on how to support APInt and APFloat.

Provide C API for MLIR standard types. Since standard types live under lib/IR
in core MLIR, place the C APIs in the IR library as well (standard ops will go
into a separate library). This also defines a placeholder for affine maps that
are necessary to construct a memref, but are not yet exposed to the C API.

Provide printing functions for most IR objects in C API (except Region that
does not have a `print` function, and Module that is expected to be printed as
Operation instead). The printing is based on a callback that is called with
chunks of the string representation and forwarded user-defined data.

Using intptr_t is a consensus for MLIR C API, but the change was missing
from 75f239e975 (that was using unsigned initially) due to a
misrebase.

Introduce an initial version of C API for MLIR core IR components: Value, Type,
Attribute, Operation, Region, Block, Location. These APIs allow for both
inspection and creation of the IR in the generic form and intended for wrapping
in high-level library- and language-specific constructs. At this point, there
is no stability guarantee provided for the API.
