[mlir] Factor type reconciliation out of Standard-to-LLVM conversion
Conversion to the LLVM dialect is being refactored to be more progressive and is now performed as a series of independent passes converting different dialects. These passes may produce `unrealized_conversion_cast` operations that represent pending conversions between built-in and LLVM dialect types. Historically, a more monolithic Standard-to-LLVM conversion pass did not need these casts as all operations were converted in one shot. Previous refactorings have led to the requirement of running the Standard-to-LLVM conversion pass to clean up `unrealized_conversion_cast`s even though the IR had no standard operations in it. The pass must have been also run the last among all to-LLVM passes, in contradiction with the partial conversion logic. Additionally, the way it was set up could produce invalid operations by removing casts between LLVM and built-in types even when the consumer did not accept the uncasted type, or could lead to cryptic ...
