Collapsing dimensions of size 1 with random strides (a.k.a.
non-contiguous w.r.t. collapsed dimensions) is a grey area that we'd
like to clean-up. (See https://reviews.llvm.org/D136483#3909856)
That said, the implementation in `memref-to-llvm` currently skips
dimensions of size 1 when computing the stride of a group.
While longer term we may want to clean that up, for now matches this
behavior, at least in the static case.
For the dynamic case, for this patch we stick to `min(group strides)`.
However, if we want to handle the dynamic cases correctly while allowing
non-truly-contiguous dynamic size of 1, we would need to `if-then-else`
every dynamic size. In other words `min(stride_i, for all i in group and
dim_i != 1)`.
I didn't implement that in this patch at the moment since
`memref-to-llvm` is technically broken in the general case for this. (It
currently would only produce something sensible for row major tensors.)

The new function is a wrapper around the regular `getStridesAndOffset`
that offers a more compact way (as in writing less code) of getting the
relevant information.
This method is intended to be used only when it is known that the
LogicalResult of the regular `getStridesAndOffset` must be "succeeded".
This warpper will assert on that.

This pass has outgrown its original goal and is now going to be used to
expand certain memref operations before lowering.
Reflect that in the name.
The pass is now called expand-strided-metadata.
