These functions allow for defining pattern fragments usable within the `match` and `rewrite` sections of a pattern. The main structure of Constraints and Rewrites functions are the same, and are similar to functions in other languages; they contain a signature (i.e. name, argument list, result list) and a body:
```pdll
// Constraint that takes a value as an input, and produces a value:
Constraint Cst(arg: Value) -> Value { ... }
// Constraint that returns multiple values:
Constraint Cst() -> (result1: Value, result2: ValueRange);
```
When returning multiple results, each result can be optionally be named (the result of a Constraint/Rewrite in the case of multiple results is a tuple).
These body of a Constraint/Rewrite functions can be specified in several ways:
* Externally
In this case we are importing an external function (registered by the user outside of PDLL):
```pdll
Constraint Foo(op: Op);
Rewrite Bar();
```
* In PDLL (using PDLL constructs)
In this case, the body is defined using PDLL constructs:
```pdll
Rewrite BuildFooOp() {
// The result type of the Rewrite is inferred from the return.
return op<my_dialect.foo>;
}
// Constraints/Rewrites can also implement a lambda/expression
// body for simple one line bodies.
Rewrite BuildFooOp() => op<my_dialect.foo>;
```
* In PDLL (using a native/C++ code block)
In this case the body is specified using a C++(or potentially other language at some point) code block. When building PDLL in AOT mode this will generate a native constraint/rewrite and register it with the PDL bytecode.
```pdll
Rewrite BuildFooOp() -> Op<my_dialect.foo> [{
return rewriter.create<my_dialect::FooOp>(...);
}];
```

This is a new pattern rewrite frontend designed from the ground
up to support MLIR constructs, and to target PDL. This frontend
language was proposed in https://llvm.discourse.group/t/rfc-pdll-a-new-declarative-rewrite-frontend-for-mlir/4798
This commit starts sketching out the base structure of the
frontend, and is intended to be a minimal starting point for
building up the language. It essentially contains support for
defining a pattern, variables, and erasing an operation. The
features mentioned in the proposal RFC (including IDE support)
will be added incrementally in followup commits.
I intend to upstream the documentation for the language in a
followup when a bit more of the pieces have been landed.
