The current dialect registry allows for attaching delayed interfaces, that are added to attrs/dialects/ops/etc.
when the owning dialect gets loaded. This is clunky for quite a few reasons, e.g. each interface type has a
separate tracking structure, and is also quite limiting. This commit refactors this delayed mutation of
dialect constructs into a more general DialectExtension mechanism. This mechanism is essentially a registration
callback that is invoked when a set of dialects have been loaded. This allows for attaching interfaces directly
on the loaded constructs, and also allows for loading new dependent dialects. The latter of which is
extremely useful as it will now enable dependent dialects to only apply in the contexts in which they
are necessary. For example, a dialect dependency can now be conditional on if a user actually needs the
interface that relies on it.

We will soon be adding non-AVX512 operations to MLIR, such as AVX's rsqrt. In https://reviews.llvm.org/D99818 several possibilities were discussed, namely to (1) add non-AVX512 ops to the AVX512 dialect, (2) add more dialects (e.g. AVX dialect for AVX rsqrt), and (3) expand the scope of the AVX512 to include these SIMD x86 ops, thereby renaming the dialect to something more accurate such as X86Vector.
Consensus was reached on option (3), which this patch implements.
