Summary:
This patch is a step towards enabling BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=on, which
builds most libraries as DLLs instead of statically linked libraries.
The main effect of this is that incremental build times are greatly
reduced, since usually only one library need be relinked in response
to isolated code changes.
The bulk of this patch is fixing incorrect usage of cmake, where library
dependencies are listed under add_dependencies rather than under
target_link_libraries or under the LINK_LIBS tag. Correct usage should be
like this:
add_dependencies(MLIRfoo MLIRfooIncGen)
target_link_libraries(MLIRfoo MLIRlib1 MLIRlib2)
A separate issue is that in cmake, dependencies between static libraries
are automatically included in dependencies. In the above example, if MLIBlib1
depends on MLIRlib2, then it is sufficient to have only MLIRlib1 in the
target_link_libraries. When compiling with shared libraries, it is necessary
to have both MLIRlib1 and MLIRlib2 specified if MLIRfoo uses symbols from both.

The ExecutionEngine was updated recently to only take the LLVM dialect as
input. Memrefs are no longer expected in the signature of the entry point
function by the executor so there is no need to allocate and free them. The
code in MemRefUtils is therefore dead and furthermore out of sync with the
recent evolution of memref type to support strides. Drop it.

This CL makes use of the standard LLVM LLJIT and removes the need for a custom JIT implementation within MLIR.
To achieve this, one needs to clone (i.e. serde) the produced llvm::Module into a new LLVMContext. This is currently necessary because the llvm::LLVMContext is owned by the LLVMDialect, somewhat deep in the call hierarchy.
In the future we should remove the reliance of serding the llvm::Module by allowing the injection of an LLVMContext from the top-level. Unfortunately this will require deeper API changes and impact multiple places. It is therefore left for future work.

Originally, ExecutionEngine was created before MLIR had a proper pass
management infrastructure or an LLVM IR dialect (using the LLVM target
directly). It has been running a bunch of lowering passes to convert the input
IR from Standard+Affine dialects to LLVM IR and, later, to the LLVM IR dialect.
This is no longer necessary and is even undesirable for compilation flows that
perform their own conversion to the LLVM IR dialect. Drop this integration and
make ExecutionEngine accept only the LLVM IR dialect. Users of the
ExecutionEngine can call the relevant passes themselves.
