[MLIR][python bindings] Add TypeCaster for returning refined types from python APIs
depends on D150839 This diff uses `MlirTypeID` to register `TypeCaster`s (i.e., `[](PyType pyType) -> DerivedTy { return pyType; }`) for all concrete types (i.e., `PyConcrete<...>`) that are then queried for (by `MlirTypeID`) and called in `struct type_caster<MlirType>::cast`. The result is that anywhere an `MlirType mlirType` is returned from a python binding, that `mlirType` is automatically cast to the correct concrete type. For example: ``` c0 = arith.ConstantOp(f32, 0.0) # CHECK: F32Type(f32) print(repr(c0.result.type)) unranked_tensor_type = UnrankedTensorType.get(f32) unranked_tensor = tensor.FromElementsOp(unranked_tensor_type, [c0]).result # CHECK: UnrankedTensorType print(type(unranked_tensor.type).__name__) # CHECK: UnrankedTensorType(tensor<*xf32>) print(repr(unranked_tensor.type)) ``` This functionality immediately extends to typed attributes (i.e., `attr.type`). The diff also implements similar functionality for `mlir_type_subclass`es but in a slightly different way - for such types (which have no cpp corresponding `class` or `struct`) the user must provide a type caster in python (similar to how `AttrBuilder` works) or in cpp as a `py::cpp_function`.
