This is a companion to #118583, although it can be landed independently
because since #117922 dialects do not have to use the same Python
binding framework as the Python core code.
This PR ports all of the in-tree dialect and pass extensions to
nanobind, with the exception of those that remain for testing pybind11
support.
This PR also:
* removes CollectDiagnosticsToStringScope from NanobindAdaptors.h. This
was overlooked in a previous PR and it is duplicated in Diagnostics.h.

This PR allows out-of-tree dialects to write Python dialect modules
using nanobind instead of pybind11.
It may make sense to migrate in-tree dialects and some of the ODS Python
infrastructure to nanobind, but that is a topic for a future change.
This PR makes the following changes:
* adds nanobind to the CMake and Bazel build systems. We also add
robin_map to the Bazel build, which is a dependency of nanobind.
* adds a PYTHON_BINDING_LIBRARY option to various CMake functions, such
as declare_mlir_python_extension, allowing users to select a Python
binding library.
* creates a fork of mlir/include/mlir/Bindings/Python/PybindAdaptors.h
named NanobindAdaptors.h. This plays the same role, using nanobind
instead of pybind11.
* splits CollectDiagnosticsToStringScope out of PybindAdaptors.h and
into a new header mlir/include/mlir/Bindings/Python/Diagnostics.h, since
it is code that is no way related to pybind11 or for that matter,
Python.
* changed the standalone Python extension example to have both pybind11
and nanobind variants.
* changed mlir/python/mlir/dialects/python_test.py to have both pybind11
and nanobind variants.
Notes:
* A slightly unfortunate thing that I needed to do in the CMake
integration was to use FindPython in addition to FindPython3, since
nanobind's CMake integration expects the Python_ names for variables.
Perhaps there's a better way to do this.

Since the very first commits, the Python and C MLIR APIs have had mis-placed registration/load functionality for dialects, extensions, etc. This was done pragmatically in order to get bootstrapped and then just grew in. Downstreams largely bypass and do their own thing by providing various APIs to register things they need. Meanwhile, the C++ APIs have stabilized around this and it would make sense to follow suit.
The thing we have observed in canonical usage by downstreams is that each downstream tends to have native entry points that configure its installation to its preferences with one-stop APIs. This patch leans in to this approach with `RegisterEverything.h` and `mlir._mlir_libs._mlirRegisterEverything` being the one-stop entry points for the "upstream packages". The `_mlir_libs.__init__.py` now allows customization of the environment and Context by adding "initialization modules" to the `_mlir_libs` package. If present, `_mlirRegisterEverything` is treated as such a module. Others can be added by downstreams by adding a `_site_initialize_{i}.py` module, where '{i}' is a number starting with zero. The number will be incremented and corresponding module loaded until one is not found. Initialization modules can:
* Perform load time customization to the global environment (i.e. registering passes, hooks, etc).
* Define a `register_dialects(registry: DialectRegistry)` function that can extend the `DialectRegistry` that will be used to bootstrap the `Context`.
* Define a `context_init_hook(context: Context)` function that will be added to a list of callbacks which will be invoked after dialect registration during `Context` initialization.
Note that the `MLIRPythonExtension.RegisterEverything` is not included by default when building a downstream (its corresponding behavior was prior). For downstreams which need the default MLIR initialization to take place, they must add this back in to their Python CMake build just like they add their own components (i.e. to `add_mlir_python_common_capi_library` and `add_mlir_python_modules`). It is perfectly valid to not do this, in which case, only the things explicitly depended on and initialized by downstreams will be built/packaged. If the downstream has not been set up for this, it is recommended to simply add this back for the time being and pay the build time/package size cost.
CMake changes:
* `MLIRCAPIRegistration` -> `MLIRCAPIRegisterEverything` (renamed to signify what it does and force an evaluation: a number of places were incidentally linking this very expensive target)
* `MLIRPythonSoure.Passes` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.AllPassesRegistration` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.Conversions` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.Transforms` removed (without replacement: just drop)
Header changes:
* `mlir-c/Registration.h` is deleted. Dialect registration functionality is now in `IR.h`. Registration of upstream features are in `mlir-c/RegisterEverything.h`. When updating MLIR and a couple of downstreams, I found that proper usage was commingled so required making a choice vs just blind S&R.
Python APIs removed:
* mlir.transforms and mlir.conversions (previously only had an __init__.py which indirectly triggered `mlirRegisterTransformsPasses()` and `mlirRegisterConversionPasses()` respectively). Downstream impact: Remove these imports if present (they now happen as part of default initialization).
* mlir._mlir_libs._all_passes_registration, mlir._mlir_libs._mlirTransforms, mlir._mlir_libs._mlirConversions. Downstream impact: None expected (these were internally used).
C-APIs changed:
* mlirRegisterAllDialects(MlirContext) now takes an MlirDialectRegistry instead. It also used to trigger loading of all dialects, which was already marked with a TODO to remove -- it no longer does, and for direct use, dialects must be explicitly loaded. Downstream impact: Direct C-API users must ensure that needed dialects are loaded or call `mlirContextLoadAllAvailableDialects(MlirContext)` to emulate the prior behavior. Also see the `ir.c` test case (e.g. ` mlirContextGetOrLoadDialect(ctx, mlirStringRefCreateFromCString("func"));`).
* mlirDialectHandle* APIs were moved from Registration.h (which now is restricted to just global/upstream registration) to IR.h, arguably where it should have been. Downstream impact: include correct header (likely already doing so).
C-APIs added:
* mlirContextLoadAllAvailableDialects(MlirContext): Corresponds to C++ API with the same purpose.
Python APIs added:
* mlir.ir.DialectRegistry: Mapping for an MlirDialectRegistry.
* mlir.ir.Context.append_dialect_registry(MlirDialectRegistry)
* mlir.ir.Context.load_all_available_dialects()
* mlir._mlir_libs._mlirAllRegistration: New native extension that exposes a `register_dialects(MlirDialectRegistry)` entry point and performs all upstream pass/conversion/transforms registration on init. In this first step, we eagerly load this as part of the __init__.py and use it to monkey patch the Context to emulate prior behavior.
* Type caster and capsule support for MlirDialectRegistry
This should make it possible to build downstream Python dialects that only depend on a subset of MLIR. See: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56037
Here is an example PR, minimally adapting IREE to these changes: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/pull/9638/files In this situation, IREE is opting to not link everything, since it is already configuring the Context to its liking. For projects that would just like to not think about it and pull in everything, add `MLIRPythonExtension.RegisterEverything` to the list of Python sources getting built, and the old behavior will continue.

Re-applies D111513:
* Adds a full-fledged Python example dialect and tests to the Standalone example (need to do a bit of tweaking in the top level CMake and lit tests to adapt better to if not building with Python enabled).
* Rips out remnants of custom extension building in favor of pybind11_add_module which does the right thing.
* Makes python and extension sources installable (outputs to src/python/${name} in the install tree): Both Python and C++ extension sources get installed as downstreams need all of this in order to build a derived version of the API.
* Exports sources targets (with our properties that make everything work) by converting them to INTERFACE libraries (which have export support), as recommended for the forseeable future by CMake devs. Renames custom properties to start with lower-case letter, as also recommended/required (groan).
* Adds a ROOT_DIR argument to declare_mlir_python_extension since now all C++ sources for an extension must be under the same directory (to line up at install time).
* Downstreams will need to adapt by:
* Remove absolute paths from any SOURCES for declare_mlir_python_extension (I believe all downstreams are just using ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} here, which can just be ommitted). May need to set ROOT_DIR if not relative to the current source directory.
* To allow further downstreams to install/build, will need to make sure that all C++ extension headers are also listed under SOURCES for declare_mlir_python_extension.
