[mlir][GPU] introduce utilities for promotion to workgroup memory

Introduce a set of function that promote a memref argument of a `gpu.func` to
workgroup memory using memory attribution. The promotion boils down to
additional loops performing the copy from the original argument to the
attributed memory in the beginning of the function, and back at the end of the
function using all available threads. The loop bounds are specified so as to
adapt to any size of the workgroup. These utilities are intended to compose
with other existing utilities (loop coalescing and tiling) in cases where the
distribution of work across threads is uneven, e.g. copying a 2D memref with
only the threads along the "x" dimension. Similarly, specialization of the
kernel to specific launch sizes should be implemented as a separate pass
combining constant propagation and canonicalization.

Introduce a simple attribute-driven pass to test the promotion transformation
since we don't have a heuristic at the moment.
