Using auto-generated constructors and options has significant advantages:
* It forces a uniform style and expectation for consuming a pass
* It allows to very easily add, remove or change options to a pass by simply making the changes in TableGen
* Its less code
This patch in particular ports all the conversion passes which lower to LLVM to use the auto generated constructors and options. For the most part, care was taken so that auto generated constructor functions have the same name as they previously did. Only following slight breaking changes (which I consider as worth the churn) have been made:
* `mlir::cf::createConvertControlFlowToLLVMPass` has been moved to the `mlir` namespace. This is consistent with basically all conversion passes
* `createGpuToLLVMConversionPass` now takes a proper options struct array for its pass options. The pass options are now also autogenerated.
* `LowerVectorToLLVMOptions` has been replaced by the autogenerated `ConvertVectorToLLVMPassOptions` which is automatically kept up to date by TableGen
* I had to move one function in the GPU to LLVM lowering as it is used as default value for an option.
* All passes that previously returned `unique_ptr<OperationPass<...>>` now simply return `unique_ptr<Pass>`

Since the recent MemRef refactoring that centralizes the lowering of
complex MemRef operations outside of the conversion framework, the
MemRefToLLVM pass doesn't directly convert these complex operations.
Instead, to fully convert the whole MemRef dialect space, MemRefToLLVM
needs to run after `expand-strided-metadata`.
Make this more obvious by changing the name of the pass and the option
associated with it from `convert-memref-to-llvm` to
`finalize-memref-to-llvm`.
The word "finalize" conveys that this pass needs to run after something
else and that something else is documented in its tablegen description.
This is a follow-up patch related to the conversation at:

This patch adds the `ExpandStridedMetadataPass` to the LowerToLLVM named
pipeline.
This is required now that "complex" memref operations, like subviews,
need to be expanded before being lowered.

This patch changes the `test-lower-to-llvm` pass into a named pipeline.
The functionality is unchanged but thanks to this change, we don't have
to pull the dependencies of all the passes that this pass calls.
In other words, `TestLowerToLLVMPass::getDependDialects` was supposed to
transitively declare all the dialects that were used in the union of all
the invoked passes.

This allows writing simple e2e tests where we can check for the proper materialization
of specific LLVM IR (e.g. `llvm.intr.fmuladd`).
