We've been able to do `isinstance(x, Type)` for a quite a while now
(since
bfb1ba7526)
so remove `Type.isinstance` and the the special-casing
(`_is_integer_type`, `_is_floating_point_type`, `_is_index_type`) in
some places (and therefore support various `fp8`, `fp6`, `fp4` types).
This is an implementation for [RFC: Supporting Sub-Channel Quantization
in
MLIR](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-supporting-sub-channel-quantization-in-mlir/82694).
In order to make the review process easier, the PR has been divided into
the following commit labels:
1. **Add implementation for sub-channel type:** Includes the class
design for `UniformQuantizedSubChannelType`, printer/parser and bytecode
read/write support. The existing types (per-tensor and per-axis) are
unaltered.
2. **Add implementation for sub-channel type:** Lowering of
`quant.qcast` and `quant.dcast` operations to Linalg operations.
3. **Adding C/Python Apis:** We first define he C-APIs and build the
Python-APIs on top of those.
4. **Add pass to normalize generic ....:** This pass normalizes
sub-channel quantized types to per-tensor per-axis types, if possible.
A design note:
- **Explicitly storing the `quantized_dimensions`, even when they can be
derived for ranked tensor.**
While it's possible to infer quantized dimensions from the static shape
of the scales (or zero-points) tensor for ranked
data tensors
([ref](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-supporting-sub-channel-quantization-in-mlir/82694/3)
for background), there are cases where this can lead to ambiguity and
issues with round-tripping.
```
Consider the example: tensor<2x4x!quant.uniform<i8:f32:{0:2, 0:2}, {{s00:z00, s01:z01}}>>
```
The shape of the scales tensor is [1, 2], which might suggest that only
axis 1 is quantized. While this inference is technically correct, as the
block size for axis 0 is a degenerate case (equal to the dimension
size), it can cause problems with round-tripping. Therefore, even for
ranked tensors, we are explicitly storing the quantized dimensions.
Suggestions welcome!
PS: I understand that the upcoming holidays may impact your schedule, so
please take your time with the review. There's no rush.
The zero points of UniformQuantizedPerAxisType should be List[int].
And there are two methods missing return value.

So far, only the custom dialect types are exposed.
The build and packaging is same as for Linalg and SparseTensor, and in
need of refactoring that is beyond the scope of this patch.
