This patch introduces FIRToMemRef, a lowering pass that converts FIR
memory operations to the MemRef dialect, including support for slices,
shifts, and descriptor-style access patterns. To support partial
lowering, where FIR and MemRef types can coexist, we extend the handling
of fir.convert to correctly marshal between FIR reference-like types and
MemRef descriptors. The patch also factors the type conversion logic
into a reusable FIRToMemRefTypeConverter, which centralizes the rules
for converting FIR types (e.g. !fir.ref, !fir.box, sequences, logicals)
to their corresponding memref types, and is used throughout the new
pass.
