This revision removes the metadata op, that to the best of our
knowledge, has no more uses after switching to a purely attribute based
metadata representation:

These changes got unlocked after landing distinct attribute support:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D153360,
which enables modeling distinct metadata using attributes. As a result,
all metadata kinds are now represented using attributes. Previously,
there has been a mix of attribute and op based representations.
Having attribute only metadata makes it possible to update the metadata
in-parallel, while updating the global metadata operation has been
a sequential process. The LLVM Dialect inliner already benefits from
this change and now creates new alias scopes and domains during
inlining rather than dropping the no alias information:

Using MLIR attributes instead of metadata has many advantages:
* No indirection: Attributes can simply refer to each other seemlessly without having to use the indirection of `SymbolRefAttr`. This also gives us correctness by construction in a lot of places as well
* Multithreading safe: The Attribute infrastructure gives us thread-safety for free. Creating operations and inserting them into a block is not thread-safe. This is a major use case for e.g. the inliner in MLIR which runs in parallel
* Easier to create: There is no need for a builder or a metadata region
This patch therefore does exactly that. It leverages the new distinct attributes to create distinct access groups in a deterministic and threadsafe manner.

This commit introduces support for locations as part of the loop
annotation attribute. These locations indicate the start and the end of
the loop.

This commit moves the importing logic of access group metadata into the
loop annotation importer. These two metadata imports can be grouped
because access groups are only used in combination with
`llvm.loop.parallel_accesses`.
As a nice side effect, this commit decouples the LoopAnnotationImporter
from the ModuleImport class.

This commit introduces functionality to import loop metadata. Loop
metadata nodes are transformed into LoopAnnotationAttrs and attached to
the corresponding branch operations.
