This adds a new mlir-tablegen option to generate a .inc file with the complete set of attrdefs defined in a .td file and uses the file generated for CIR attrdefs to create an attr visitor. This visitor is used in the lowering of global variables directly to LLVM IR.
The purpose of this change is to align the incubator lowering implementation with the recent upstream changes to make future upstreaming easier, while also fulfilling the upstream request to have the visitor be based on a tablegen created file.
The new mlir-tablegen feature will be upstreamed after it is established here.
No observable change is intended in the CIR code.
