Implement initial support for dialect specific types.

Dialect specific types are registered similarly to operations, i.e. registerType<...> within the dialect. Unlike operations, there is no notion of a "verbose" type, that is *all* types must be registered to a dialect. Casting support(isa/dyn_cast/etc.) is implemented by reserving a range of type kinds in the top level Type class as opposed to string comparison like operations.

To support derived types a few hooks need to be implemented:

In the concrete type class:
    - static char typeID;
      * A unique identifier for the type used during registration.

In the Dialect:
    - typeParseHook and typePrintHook must be implemented to provide parser support.

The syntax for dialect extended types is as follows:
 dialect-type:  '!' dialect-namespace '<' '"' type-specific-data '"' '>'

The 'type-specific-data' is information used to identify different types within the dialect, e.g:
 - !tf<"variant"> // Tensor Flow Variant Type
 - !tf<"string">  // Tensor Flow String Type

TensorFlow/TensorFlowControl types are now implemented as dialect specific types as a proof
 of concept.
