* Finishes support for Context, InsertionPoint and Location to be carried by the thread using context managers.
* Introduces type casters and utilities so that DefaultPyMlirContext and DefaultPyLocation in method signatures does the right thing (allows explicit or gets from the thread context).
* Extend the rules for the thread context stack to handle nesting, appropriately inheriting and clearing depending on whether the context is the same.
* Refactors all method signatures to follow the new convention on trailing parameters for defaulting parameters (loc, ip, context). When the objects are carried in the thread context, this allows most explicit uses of these values to be elided.
* Removes the style guide section on putting accessors to construct global objects on the PyMlirContext: this style fails to make good use of the new facility since it is often the only thing remaining needing an MlirContext.
* Moves Module parse/creation from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Module.
* Moves Context.create_operation to a static Operation.create method.
* Moves Type parsing from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Type.
* Moves Attribute parsing from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Attribute.
* Move Location factory methods from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Location.
* Refactors the std dialect fake "ODS" generated code to take advantage of the new scheme.

* Removes index based insertion. All insertion now happens through the insertion point.
* Introduces thread local context managers for implicit creation relative to an insertion point.
* Introduces (but does not yet use) binding the Context to the thread local context stack. Intent is to refactor all methods to take context optionally and have them use the default if available.
* Adds C APIs for mlirOperationGetParentOperation(), mlirOperationGetBlock() and mlirBlockGetTerminator().
* Removes an assert in PyOperation creation that was incorrectly constraining. There is already a TODO to rework the keepAlive field that it was guarding and without the assert, it is no worse than the current state.

* Adds a new MlirOpPrintingFlags type and supporting accessors.
* Adds a new mlirOperationPrintWithFlags function.
* Adds a full featured python Operation.print method with all options and the ability to print directly to files/stdout in text or binary.
* Adds an Operation.get_asm which delegates to print and returns a str or bytes.
* Reworks Operation.__str__ to be based on get_asm.

Values are ubiquitous in the IR, in particular block argument and operation
results are Values. Define Python classes for BlockArgument, OpResult and their
common ancestor Value. Define pseudo-container classes for lists of block
arguments and operation results, and use these containers to access the
corresponding values in blocks and operations.

* Extends Context/Operation interning to cover Module as well.
* Implements Module.context, Attribute.context, Type.context, and Location.context back-references (facilitated testing and also on the TODO list).
* Adds method to create an empty Module.
* Discovered missing in npcomp.

* The API is a bit more verbose than I feel like it needs to be. In a follow-up I'd like to abbreviate some things and look in to creating aliases for common accessors.
* There is a lingering lifetime hazard between the module and newly added operations. We have the facilities now to solve for this but I will do that in a follow-up.
* We may need to craft a more limited API for safely referencing successors when creating operations. We need more facilities to really prove that out and should defer for now.

* Removes the half-completed prior attempt at region/block mutation in favor of new approach to ownership.
* Will re-add mutation more correctly in a follow-on.
* Eliminates the detached state on blocks and regions, simplifying the ownership hierarchy.
* Adds both iterator and index based access at each level.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87982
* Fixes a rather egregious bug with respect to the inability to return arbitrary objects from py::init (was causing aliasing of multiple py::object -> native instance).
* Makes Modules and Operations referencable types so that they can be reliably depended on.
* Uniques python operation instances within a context. Opens the door for further accounting.
* Next I will retrofit region and block to be dependent on the operation, and I will attempt to model the API to avoid detached regions/blocks, which will simplify things a lot (in that world, only operations can be detached).
* Added quite a bit of test coverage to check for leaks and reference issues.
* Supercedes: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87213
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87958
* This is just enough to create regions/blocks and iterate over them.
* Does not yet implement the preferred iteration strategy (python pseudo containers).
* Refinements need to come after doing basic mappings of operations and values so that the whole hierarchy can be used.
