A series of preceding patches changed the mechanism for translating MLIR to
LLVM IR to use dialect interface with delayed registration. It is no longer
necessary for specific dialects to derive from ModuleTranslation. Remove all
virtual methods from ModuleTranslation and factor out the entry point to be a
free function.
Also perform some cleanups in ModuleTranslation internals.

Port the translation of five dialects that define LLVM IR intrinsics
(LLVMAVX512, LLVMArmNeon, LLVMArmSVE, NVVM, ROCDL) to the new dialect
interface-based mechanism. This allows us to remove individual translations
that were created for each of these dialects and just use one common
MLIR-to-LLVM-IR translation that potentially supports all dialects instead,
based on what is registered and including any combination of translatable
dialects. This removal was one of the main goals of the refactoring.
To support the addition of GPU-related metadata, the translation interface is
extended with the `amendOperation` function that allows the interface
implementation to post-process any translated operation with dialect attributes
from the dialect for which the interface is implemented regardless of the
operation's dialect. This is currently applied to "kernel" functions, but can
be used to construct other metadata in dialect-specific ways without
necessarily affecting operations.

Migrate the translation of the OpenMP dialect operations to LLVM IR to the new
dialect-based mechanism.

The existing approach to translation to the LLVM IR relies on a single
translation supporting the base LLVM dialect, extensible through inheritance to
support intrinsic-based dialects also derived from LLVM IR such as NVVM and
AVX512. This approach does not scale well as it requires additional
translations to be created for each new intrinsic-based dialect and does not
allow them to mix in the same module, contrary to the rest of the MLIR
infrastructure. Furthermore, OpenMP translation ingrained itself into the main
translation mechanism.
Start refactoring the translation to LLVM IR to operate using dialect
interfaces. Each dialect that contains ops translatable to LLVM IR can
implement the interface for translating them, and the top-level translation
driver can operate on interfaces without knowing about specific dialects.
Furthermore, the delayed dialect registration mechanism allows one to avoid a
dependency on LLVM IR in the dialect that is translated to it by implementing
the translation as a separate library and only registering it at the client
level.
This change introduces the new mechanism and factors out the translation of the
"main" LLVM dialect. The remaining dialects will follow suit.
