Relax restriction on affine_apply dim and symbol operands
The affine_apply operation is currently "doubly" affine and conflates two things: 1. it applies an affine map to a list of values of type `index` that are defined as either dim or symbol 2. it restricts (and propagates constraints on) the provenance of dims and symbols to a small subset of ops for which more restrictive polyhedral constraints apply. Point 2. is related to the ability to form so-called static control parts and is related to dependence analysis and legality of transformations. Point 1. however is completely independent, the only local implication of dims and symbol for affine_apply is that dims compose while symbols concatenate as well as the structural constraint that dims may not be multiplied. The properties of composition and canonicalization in affine_apply are more generally useful. This CL relaxes the verifier on affine_apply so it can be used more generally. The relevant affine.for/if/load/store op verifiers already implement the dim and symbol checking.
