de0ebc5263 [mlir][dataflow] Consolidate AbstractSparseLattice::markPessimisticFixpoint() and AbstractDenseLattice::reset() into Abstract{Sparse,Dense}DataFlowAnalysis::setToEntryState().
### Rationale

For a program point where we cannot reason about incoming dataflow (e.g. an argument of an entry block), the framework needs to initialize the state.

Currently, `AbstractSparseDataFlowAnalysis` initializes such state to the "pessimistic fixpoint", and `AbstractDenseDataFlowAnalysis` calls the state's `reset()` function.

However, entry states aren't necessarily the pessimistic fixpoint. Example: in reaching definition, the pessimistic fixpoint is `{all definitions}`, but the entry state is `{}`.

This awkwardness might be why the dense analysis API currently uses `reset()` instead of `markPessimisticFixpoint()`.

This patch consolidates entry point initialization into a single function `setToEntryState()`.

### API Location

Note that `setToEntryState()` is defined in the analysis rather than the lattice, so that we allow different analyses to use the same lattice but different entry states.

### Removal of the concept of optimistic/known value

The concept of optimistic/known value is too specific to SCCP.

Furthermore, the known value is not really used: In the current SCCP implementation, the known value (pessimistic fixpoint) is always `Attribute{}` (non-constant). This means there's no point storing a `knownValue` in each state.

If we do need to re-introduce optimistic/known value, we should put it in the SCCP analysis, not the sparse analysis API.

### Terminology

Please let me know if "entry state" is a good terminology.

I chose "entry" from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-flow_analysis#Basic_principles).

Another term I can think of is "boundary" (https://suif.stanford.edu/~courses/cs243/lectures/L3-DFA2-revised.pdf) which might be better since it also makes sense for backward analysis.

ab701975e7 [mlir] Swap integer range inference to the new framework
Integer range inference has been swapped to the new framework. The integer value range lattices automatically updates the corresponding constant value on update.

c095afcba6 [mlir] Add Dead Code Analysis
This patch implements the analysis state classes needed for sparse data-flow analysis and implements a dead-code analysis using those states to determine liveness of blocks, control-flow edges, region predecessors, and function callsites.
