At its core, this commit changes `OpaqueProperties` (aka a void*) to
`PropertyRef`, which is a {TypeID, void*}, where the TypeID is the ID of
the storage type of the given property (which can, as is often the case
for operations, be a struct of other properties).
Long-term, this change will allow for
1) Some sort of getFooPropertyRef() on property structs, allowing
individual members to be extracted generically
2) By having a property kind that is an OwningProprtyRef, generic
parsing (in combination with a bunch of other changes) 3) Probably a
safer C/Python API because we'll be able to indicate what's supposed to
be under a given void*

ArrayRef has a constructor that accepts std::nullopt. This
constructor dates back to the days when we still had llvm::Optional.
Since the use of std::nullopt outside the context of std::optional is
kind of abuse and not intuitive to new comers, I would like to move
away from the constructor and eventually remove it.
This patch replaces {} with std::nullopt.

This patch migrates away from TypeRagne(std::nullopt) and
ValueRange(std::nullopt).
This new features enabled to dedicate custom storage inline within operations.
This storage can be used as an alternative to attributes to store data that is
specific to an operation. Attribute can also be stored inside the properties
storage if desired, but any kind of data can be present as well. This offers
a way to store and mutate data without uniquing in the Context like Attribute.
See the OpPropertiesTest.cpp for an example where a struct with a
std::vector<> is attached to an operation and mutated in-place:
struct TestProperties {
int a = -1;
float b = -1.;
std::vector<int64_t> array = {-33};
};
More complex scheme (including reference-counting) are also possible.
The only constraint to enable storing a C++ object as "properties" on an
operation is to implement three functions:
- convert from the candidate object to an Attribute
- convert from the Attribute to the candidate object
- hash the object
Optional the parsing and printing can also be customized with 2 extra
functions.
A new options is introduced to ODS to allow dialects to specify:
let usePropertiesForAttributes = 1;
When set to true, the inherent attributes for all the ops in this dialect
will be using properties instead of being stored alongside discardable
attributes.
The TestDialect showcases this feature.
Another change is that we introduce new APIs on the Operation class
to access separately the inherent attributes from the discardable ones.
We envision deprecating and removing the `getAttr()`, `getAttrsDictionary()`,
and other similar method which don't make the distinction explicit, leading
to an entirely separate namespace for discardable attributes.

This will match the locations attached to the IRunits passed in as context
