Currently, the NVPTX tool compilation path only calls `ptxas`; thus, the
GPU running the binary must be an exact match of the arch of the target,
or else the runtime throws an error due to the arch mismatch.
This patch adds a call to `fatbinary`, creating a fat binary with the
cubin object and the PTX code, allowing the driver to JIT the PTX at
runtime if there's an arch mismatch.
This revision avoids the registration of dialect extensions in Pass::getDependentDialects.
Such registration of extensions can be dangerous because `DialectRegistry::isSubsetOf` is
always guaranteed to return false for extensions (i.e. there is no mechanism to track
whether a lambda is already in the list of already registered extensions).
When the context is already in a multi-threaded mode, this is guaranteed to assert.
Arguably a more structured registration mechanism for extensions with a unique ExtensionID
could be envisioned in the future.
In the process of cleaning this up, multiple usage inconsistencies surfaced around the
registration of translation extensions that this revision also cleans up.

Fix a build failure in GCC 7 caused by the function:
`std::optional<SmallVector<std::unique_ptr<llvm::Module>>> loadBitcodeFiles` ,
in `NVVMTarget` & `ROCDLTarget`.
The failure is caused because GCC fails to use the move constructor in
`std::optional` for constructing the return value, which prompts a call to the
deleted copy constructor in `std::unique_ptr`, resulting in a failure.
