- Add `mlirElementsAttrGetType` C API.
- Add `def_buffer` binding to PyDenseElementsAttribute.
- Implement the protocol to access the buffer.

* Finishes support for Context, InsertionPoint and Location to be carried by the thread using context managers.
* Introduces type casters and utilities so that DefaultPyMlirContext and DefaultPyLocation in method signatures does the right thing (allows explicit or gets from the thread context).
* Extend the rules for the thread context stack to handle nesting, appropriately inheriting and clearing depending on whether the context is the same.
* Refactors all method signatures to follow the new convention on trailing parameters for defaulting parameters (loc, ip, context). When the objects are carried in the thread context, this allows most explicit uses of these values to be elided.
* Removes the style guide section on putting accessors to construct global objects on the PyMlirContext: this style fails to make good use of the new facility since it is often the only thing remaining needing an MlirContext.
* Moves Module parse/creation from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Module.
* Moves Context.create_operation to a static Operation.create method.
* Moves Type parsing from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Type.
* Moves Attribute parsing from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Attribute.
* Move Location factory methods from mlir.ir.Context to static methods on mlir.ir.Location.
* Refactors the std dialect fake "ODS" generated code to take advantage of the new scheme.

* Interops with Python buffers/numpy arrays to create.
* Also cleans up 'get' factory methods on some types to be consistent.
* Adds mlirAttributeGetType() to C-API to facilitate error handling and other uses.
* Punts on a lot of features of the ElementsAttribute hierarchy for now.
* Does not yet support bool or string attributes.
