The result shape of a rank-reducing subview cannot be inferred in the general case. Just the result rank is not enough. The only thing that we can infer is the layout map.
This change also improves the bufferization patterns of tensor.extract_slice and tensor.insert_slice to fully support rank-reducing operations.

This change adds a new op `alloc_tensor` to the bufferization dialect. During bufferization, this op is always lowered to a buffer allocation (unless it is "eliminated" by a pre-processing pass). It is useful to have such an op in tensor land, because it allows users to model tensor SSA use-def chains (which drive bufferization decisions) and because tensor SSA use-def chains can be analyzed by One-Shot Bufferize, while memref values cannot.
This change also replaces all uses of linalg.init_tensor in bufferization-related code with bufferization.alloc_tensor.
linalg.init_tensor and bufferization.alloc_tensor are similar, but the purpose of the former one is just to carry a shape. It does not indicate a memory allocation.
linalg.init_tensor is not suitable for modelling SSA use-def chains for bufferization purposes, because linalg.init_tensor is marked as not having side effects (in contrast to alloc_tensor). As such, it is legal to move linalg.init_tensor ops around/CSE them/etc. This is not desirable for alloc_tensor; it represents an explicit buffer allocation while still in tensor land and such allocations should not suddenly disappear or get moved around when running the canonicalizer/CSE/etc.
