Previously we have multiple mechanisms to specify op definition and match constraints:
TypeConstraint, AttributeConstraint, Type, Attr, mAttr, mAttrAnyOf, mPat. These variants
are not added because there are so many distinct cases we need to model; essentially,
they are all carrying a predicate. It's just an artifact of implementation.
It's quite confusing for users to grasp these variants and choose among them. Instead,
as the OpBase TableGen file, we need to strike to provide an unified mechanism. Each
dialect has the flexibility to define its own aliases if wanted.
This CL removes mAttr, mAttrAnyOf, mPat. A new base class, Constraint, is added. Now
TypeConstraint and AttrConstraint derive from Constraint. Type and Attr further derive
from TypeConstraint and AttrConstraint, respectively.
Comments are revised and examples are added to make it clear how to use constraints.

Previously Value was a pair of name & Type, but for operands/result a TypeConstraint rather then a Type is specified. Update C++ side to match declarative side.

The existing implementation of the Op definition generator assumes and relies
on the fact that native Op Attributes appear after its value-based operands in
the Arguments list. Furthermore, the same order is used in the generated
`build` function for the operation. This is not desirable for some operations
with mandatory attributes that would want the attribute to appear upfront for
better consistency with their textual representation, for example `cmpi` would
prefer the `predicate` attribute to be foremost in the argument list.
Introduce support for using attributes and operands in the Arguments DAG in no
particular order. This is achieved by maintaining a list of Arguments that
point to either the value or the attribute and are used to generate the `build`
method.

* Introduce a OpTrait class in C++ to wrap the TableGen definition;
* Introduce PredOpTrait and rename previous usage of OpTrait to NativeOpTrait;
* PredOpTrait allows specifying a trait of the operation by way of predicate on the operation. This will be used in future to create reusable set of trait building blocks in the definition of operations. E.g., indicating whether to operands have the same type and allowing locally documenting op requirements by trait composition.
- Some of these building blocks could later evolve into known fixed set as LLVMs backends do, but that can be considered with more data.
* Use the modelling to address one verify TODO in a very local manner.
This subsumes the current custom verify specification which will be removed in a separate mechanical CL.

This CL extended TableGen Operator class to provide accessors for information on op
results.
In OpDefinitionGen, added checks to make sure only the last result can be variadic,
and adjusted traits and builders generation to consider variadic results.

We specify op operands and results in TableGen op definition using the same syntax.
They should be modelled similarly in TableGen driver wrapper classes.

For ops with the SameOperandsAndResultType trait, we know that all result types
should be the same as the first operand's type. So we can generate a build()
method without requiring result types as parameters and also invoke this method
when constructing such ops during expanding rewrite patterns.
Similarly for ops have broadcast behavior, we can define build() method to use
the deduced type as the result type. So we can also calling into this build()
method when constructing ops in RewriterGen.

Previously, we were using the trait mechanism to specify that an op has variadic operands.
That led a discrepancy between how we handle ops with deterministic number of operands.
Besides, we have no way to specify the constraints and match against the variadic operands.
This CL introduced Variadic<Type> as a way to solve the above issues.

Motivation for this change is to remove redundant TF type attributes for
TensorFlow ops. For example, tf$T: "tfdtype$DT_FLOAT". Type attributes can be derived using the MLIR operand or result MLIR types, attribute names and their mapping. This will also allow constant folding of instructions generated within MLIR (and not imported from TensorFlow) without adding type attributes for the instruction.
Derived attributes are populated while exporting MLIR to TF GraphDef using
auto-generated populators. Populators are only available for the ops that are generated by the TableGen.
Also, fixed Operator::getNumArgs method to exclude derived attributes as they are not
part of the arguments.

Similar to op operands and attributes, use DAG to specify operation's results.
This will allow us to provide names and matchers for outputs.
Also Defined `outs` as a marker to indicate the start of op result list.

Similar to other tblgen:: abstractions, tblgen::Pattern hides the native TableGen
API and provides a nicer API that is more coherent with the TableGen definitions.

Start doc generation pass that generates simple markdown output. The output is formatted simply[1] in markdown, but this allows seeing what info we have, where we can refine the op description (e.g., the inputs is probably redundant), what info is missing (e.g., the attributes could probably have a description).
The formatting of the description is still left up to whatever was in the op definition (which luckily, due to the uniformity in the .td file, turned out well but relying on the indentation there is fragile). The mechanism to autogenerate these post changes has not been added yet either. The output file could be run through a markdown formatter too to remove extra spaces.
[1]. This is not proposal for final style :) There could also be a discussion around single doc vs multiple (per dialect, per op), whether we want a TOC, whether operands/attributes should be headings or just formatted differently ...

MLIR has support for type-polymorphic instructions, i.e. instructions that may
take arguments of different types. For example, standard arithmetic operands
take scalars, vectors or tensors. In order to express such instructions in
TableGen, we need to be able to verify that a type object satisfies certain
constraints, but we don't need to construct an instance of this type. The
existing TableGen definition of Type requires both. Extract out a
TypeConstraint TableGen class to define restrictions on types. Define the Type
TableGen class as a subclass of TypeConstraint for consistency. Accept records
of the TypeConstraint class instead of the Type class as values in the
Arguments class when defining operators.
Replace the predicate logic TableGen class based on conjunctive normal form
with the predicate logic classes allowing for abitrary combinations of
predicates using Boolean operators (AND/OR/NOT). The combination is
implemented using simple string rewriting of C++ expressions and, therefore,
respects the short-circuit evaluation order. No logic simplification is
performed at the TableGen level so all expressions must be valid C++.
Maintaining CNF using TableGen only would have been complicated when one needed
to introduce top-level disjunction. It is also unclear if it could lead to a
significantly simpler emitted C++ code. In the future, we may replace inplace
predicate string combination with a tree structure that can be simplified in
TableGen's C++ driver.
Combined, these changes allow one to express traits like ArgumentsAreFloatLike
directly in TableGen instead of relying on C++ trait classes.

Expand type matcher template generator to consider a set of predicates that are known to
hold. This avoids inserting redundant checking for trivially true predicates
(for example predicate that hold according to the op definition). This only targets predicates that trivially holds and does not attempt any logic equivalence proof.

This CL added a tblgen::Attribute class to wrap around raw TableGen
Record getValue*() calls on Attr defs, which will provide a nicer
API for handling TableGen Record.

The PredCNF class is also updated to work together with
tblgen::Type.

Use "native" vs "derived" to differentiate attributes on ops: native ones
are specified when creating the op as a part of defining the op, while
derived ones are computed from properties of the op.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 228186962
Bind attributes similar to operands. Use to rewrite leakyreulo and const rewrite pattern. The attribute type/attributes are not currently checked so should only be used where the attributes match due to the construction of the op.
To support current attribute namespacing, convert __ in attribute name to "$" for matching purposes ('$' is not valid character in variable in TableGen).
Some simplification to make it simpler to specify indented ostream and avoid so many spaces. The goal is not to have perfectly formatted code generated but good enough so that its still easy to read for a user.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 228183639
Expand type to include matcher predicates. Use CNF form to allow specifying combinations of constraints for type. The matching call for the type is used to verify the construction of the operation as well as in rewrite pattern generation.
The matching initially includes redundant checks (e.g., even if the operand of the op is guaranteed to satisfy some requirement, it is still checked during matcher generation for now). As well as some of the traits specified now check what the generated code already checks. Some of the traits can be removed in future as the verify method will include the relevant checks based on the op definition already.
More work is needed for variadic operands.
CNF form is used so that in the follow up redundant checks in the rewrite patterns could be omitted (e.g., when matching a F32Tensor, one does not need to verify that op X's operand 0 is a Tensor if that is guaranteed by op X's definition). The alternative was to have single matcher function specified, but this would not allow for reasoning about what attributes already hold (at the level of PredAtoms).
Use this new operand type restrictions to rewrite BiasAdd with floating point operands as declarative pattern.

* Match using isa
- This limits the rewrite pattern to ops defined in op registry but that is probably better end state (esp. for additional verification).

Add convenience wrapper to make it easier to iterate over attributes and operands of operator defined in TableGen file. Use this class in RewriterGen (not used in the op generator yet, will do shortly). Change the RewriterGen to pass the bound arguments explicitly, this is in preparation for multi-op matching.
