The constructor function was being defined without indicating its "__init__"
name, which made it interpret it as a regular fuction rather than a
constructor. When overload resolution failed, Pybind would attempt to print the
arguments actually passed to the function, including "self", which is not
initialized since the constructor couldn't be called. This would result in
"__repr__" being called with "self" referencing an uninitialized MLIR C API
object, which in turn would cause undefined behavior when attempting to print
in C++. Even if the correct name is provided, the mechanism used by
PybindAdaptors.h to bind constructors directly as "__init__" functions taking
"self" is deprecated by Pybind. The new mechanism does not seem to have access
to a fully-constructed "self" object (i.e., the constructor in C++ takes a
`pybind11::detail::value_and_holder` that cannot be forwarded back to Python).
Instead, redefine "__new__" to perform the required checks (there are no
additional initialization needed for attributes and types as they are all
wrappers around a C++ pointer). "__new__" can call its equivalent on a
superclass without needing "self".
Bump pybind11 dependency to 3.8.0, which is the first version that allows one
to redefine "__new__".

Introduce the initial support for operation interfaces in C API and Python
bindings. Interfaces are a key component of MLIR's extensibility and should be
available in bindings to make use of full potential of MLIR.
This initial implementation exposes InferTypeOpInterface all the way to the
Python bindings since it can be later used to simplify the operation
construction methods by inferring their return types instead of requiring the
user to do so. The general infrastructure for binding interfaces is defined and
InferTypeOpInterface can be used as an example for binding other interfaces.

* Implements all of the discussed features:
- Links against common CAPI libraries that are self contained.
- Stops using the 'python/' directory at the root for everything, opening the namespace up for multiple projects to embed the MLIR python API.
- Separates declaration of sources (py and C++) needed to build the extension from building, allowing external projects to build custom assemblies from core parts of the API.
- Makes the core python API relocatable (i.e. it could be embedded as something like 'npcomp.ir', 'npcomp.dialects', etc). Still a bit more to do to make it truly isolated but the main structural reset is done.
- When building statically, installed python packages are completely self contained, suitable for direct setup and upload to PyPi, et al.
- Lets external projects assemble their own CAPI common runtime library that all extensions use. No more possibilities for TypeID issues.
- Begins modularizing the API so that external projects that just include a piece pay only for what they use.
* I also rolled in a re-organization of the native libraries that matches how I was packaging these out of tree and is a better layering (i.e. all libraries go into a nested _mlir_libs package). There is some further cleanup that I resisted since it would have required source changes that I'd rather do in a followup once everything stabilizes.
* Note that I made a somewhat odd choice in choosing to recompile all extensions for each project they are included into (as opposed to compiling once and just linking). While not leveraged yet, this will let us set definitions controlling the namespacing of the extensions so that they can be made to not conflict across projects (with preprocessor definitions).
* This will be a relatively substantial breaking change for downstreams. I will handle the npcomp migration and will coordinate with the circt folks before landing. We should stage this and make sure it isn't causing problems before landing.
* Fixed a couple of absolute imports that were causing issues.

* NFC but has some fixes for CMake glitches discovered along the way (things not cleaning properly, co-mingled depends).
* Includes previously unsubmitted fix in D98681 and a TODO to fix it more appropriately in a smaller followup.
