This is part of an effort to migrate from llvm::Optional to
std::optional. This patch changes the way mlir-tblgen generates .inc
files, and modifies tests and documentation appropriately. It is a "no
compromises" patch, and doesn't leave the user with an unpleasant mix of
llvm::Optional and std::optional.
A non-trivial change has been made to ControlFlowInterfaces to split one
constructor into two, relating to a build failure on Windows.

Currently, for sparse analyses, we always store a `Optional<ValueT>` in each lattice element. When it's `None`, we consider the lattice element as `uninitialized`.
However:
* Not all lattices have an `uninitialized` state. For example, `Executable` and `PredecessorState` have default values so they are always initialized.
* In dense analyses, we don't have the concept of an `uninitialized` state.
Given these inconsistencies, this patch removes `Lattice::isUninitialized()`. Individual analysis states are now default-constructed. If the default state of an analysis can be considered as "uninitialized" then this analysis should implement the following logic:
* Special join rule: `join(uninitialized, any) == any`.
* Special bail out logic: if any of the input states is uninitialized, exit the transfer function early.

### 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.

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