Introduce support for the third kind of values in the transform dialect:
value handles. Similarly to operation handles, value handles are
pointing to a set of values in the payload IR. This enables
transformation to be targeted at specific values, such as individual
results of a multi-result payload operation without indirecting through
the producing op or block arguments that previously could not be easily
addressed. This is expected to support a broad class of memory-oriented
transformations such as selective bufferization, buffer assignment, and
memory transfer management.
Value handles are functionally similar to operation handles and require
similar implementation logic. The most important change concerns the
handle invalidation mechanism where operation and value handles can
affect each other.
This patch includes two cleanups that make it easier to introduce value
handles:
- `RaggedArray` structure that encapsulates the SmallVector of
ArrayRef backed by flat SmallVector logic, frequently used in the
transform interfaces implementation;
- rewrite the tests that associated payload handles with an integer
value `reinterpret_cast`ed as a pointer, which were a frequent
source of confusion and crashes when adding more debugging
facilities that can inspect the payload.

`applyTransforms` now takes an optional mapping to be associated with
trailing block arguments of the top-level transform op, in addition to
the payload root. This allows for more advanced forms of communication
between C++ code and the transform dialect interpreter, in particular
supplying operations without having to re-match them during
interpretation.

This makes it more consistent with the recently added
TransformParamTypeInterface.

Introduce a new kind of values into the transform dialect -- parameter
values. These values have a type implementing the new
`TransformParamTypeInterface` and are associated with lists of
attributes rather than lists of payload operations. This mechanism
allows one to wrap numeric calculations, typically heuristics, into
transform operations separate from those at actually applying the
transformation. For example, tile size computation can be now separated
from tiling itself, and not hardcoded in the transform dialect. This
further improves the separation of concerns between transform choice and
implementation.

Introduce a type system for the transform dialect. A transform IR type
captures the expectations of the transform IR on the payload IR
operations that are being transformed, such as being of a certain kind
or implementing an interface that enables the transformation. This
provides stricter checking and better readability of the transform IR
than using the catch-all "handle" type.
This change implements the basic support for a type system amendable to
dialect extensions and adds a drop-in replacement for the unrestricted
"handle" type. The actual switch of transform dialect ops to that type
will happen in a separate commit.
