Marius Brehler 1fa1251116 [mlir][emitc] Add a variable op
This adds a variable op, emitted as C/C++ locale variable, which can be
used if the `emitc.constant` op is not sufficient.

As an example, the canonicalization pass would transform
```mlir
%0 = "emitc.constant"() {value = 0 : i32} : () -> i32
%1 = "emitc.constant"() {value = 0 : i32} : () -> i32
%2 = emitc.apply "&"(%0) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
%3 = emitc.apply "&"(%1) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
emitc.call "write"(%2, %3) : (!emitc.ptr<i32>, !emitc.ptr<i32>) -> ()
```
into
```mlir
%0 = "emitc.constant"() {value = 0 : i32} : () -> i32
%1 = emitc.apply "&"(%0) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
%2 = emitc.apply "&"(%0) : (i32) -> !emitc.ptr<i32>
emitc.call "write"(%1, %2) : (!emitc.ptr<i32>, !emitc.ptr<i32>) -> ()
```
resulting in pointer aliasing, as %1 and %2 point to the same address.
In such a case, the `emitc.variable` operation can be used instead.
