A distinct attribute associates a referenced attribute with a unique
identifier. Every call to its create function allocates a new
distinct attribute instance. The address of the attribute instance
temporarily serves as its unique identifier. Similar to the names
of SSA values, the final unique identifiers are generated during
pretty printing.
Examples:
#distinct = distinct[0]<42.0 : f32>
#distinct1 = distinct[1]<42.0 : f32>
#distinct2 = distinct[2]<array<i32: 10, 42>>
This mechanism is meant to generate attributes with a unique
identifier, which can be used to mark groups of operations
that share a common properties such as if they are aliasing.
The design of the distinct attribute ensures minimal memory
footprint per distinct attribute since it only contains a reference
to another attribute. All distinct attributes are stored outside of
the storage uniquer in a thread local store that is part of the
context. It uses one bump pointer allocator per thread to ensure
distinct attributes can be created in-parallel.

Historically, MemRef only supported a restricted list of element types that
were known to be storable in memory. This is unnecessarily restrictive given
the open nature of MLIR's type system. Allow types to opt into being used as
MemRef elements by implementing a type interface. For now, the interface is
merely a declaration with no methods. Later, methods to query, e.g., the type
size or whether a type can alias elements of another type may be added.
Harden the "standard"-to-LLVM conversion against memrefs with non-builtin
types.

This patch is the first in a series of patches fixing markdown links and references inside the mlir documentation. I chose to split it in a few reviews to be able to iterate quicker and to ease review.
This patch addresses all broken references to other markdown files and sections inside the Dialects folder.
One change that was also done was to insert '/' between the markdown files and section:
Example:
Builtin.md#integertype
was changed to:
Builtin.md/#integertype
After compilation, hugo then translates the later to jump directly to the integer type section, but not the former. Not inserting the slash would simply jump to just the Builtin page, instead of the integertype section. I therefore changed occurrences of the former version to the later as well.

Now that all of the builtin dialect is generated from ODS, its documentation in LangRef can be split out and replaced with references to Dialects/Builtin.md. LangRef is quite crusty right now and should really have a full cleanup done in a followup.
