This is an important step in allowing for the top-level of the IR to be extensible. FuncOp and ModuleOp contain all of the necessary functionality, while using the existing operation infrastructure. As an interim step, many of the usages of Function and Module, including the name, will remain the same. In the future, many of these will be relaxed to allow for many different types of top-level operations to co-exist.

As with Functions, Module will soon become an operation, which are value-typed. This eases the transition from Module to ModuleOp. A new class, OwningModuleRef is provided to allow for owning a reference to a Module, and will auto-delete the held module on destruction.

Move the data members out of Function and into a new impl storage class 'FunctionStorage'. This allows for Function to become value typed, which will greatly simplify the transition of Function to FuncOp(given that FuncOp is also value typed).

PTX backend in LLVM expects additional module-level metadata
`!nvvm.annotations` that lists functions that can be used as GPU kernels.
Generate this metadata based on the `gpu.kernel` attribute attached to
functions. This attribute is added automatically by the kernel outlining pass
in the GPU dialect lowering flow.

The original implementation did not map the return value of the intrinsics
call to the result value of the special register op. Uses of the result
value hence hit a nullpointer.
