This PR re-introduces the functionality of
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/113064, which was reverted in
0a68171b3c
due to memory lifetime issues.
Notice that I was not able to re-produce the ASan results myself, so I
have not been able to verify that this PR really fixes the issue.

Currently it is unsupported to:
1. Convert a MlirAttribute with type i1 to a numpy array
2. Convert a boolean numpy array to a MlirAttribute
Currently the entire Python application violently crashes with a quite
poor error message https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/3336
The complication handling these conversions, is that MlirAttribute
represent booleans as a bit-packed i1 type, whereas numpy represents
booleans as a byte array with 8 bit used per boolean.
This PR proposes the following approach:
1. When converting a i1 typed MlirAttribute to a numpy array, we can not
directly use the underlying raw data backing the MlirAttribute as a
buffer to Python, as done for other types. Instead, a copy of the data
is generated using numpy's unpackbits function, and the result is send
back to Python.
2. When constructing a MlirAttribute from a numpy array, first the
python data is read as a uint8_t to get it converted to the endianess
used internally in mlir. Then the booleans are bitpacked using numpy's
bitpack function, and the bitpacked array is saved as the MlirAttribute
representation.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
