Merge triton-mlir branch - Complete rewrite of the backend from scratch (#1004)

This PR merges the `triton-mlir` branch, in which we have been quietly
rewriting the Triton backend from scratch to increase maintainability,
stability and ultimately performance. Changes to the runtime are
minimal, and this new version aims to remain backward-compatible with
the previous commit. The legacy backend is now officially deprecated,
but can still be accessed via the `legacy-backend` tag.

# Triton
This is the development repository of Triton, a language and compiler for writing highly efficient custom Deep-Learning primitives. The aim of Triton is to provide an open-source environment for expressing tensor math workloads that offers high flexibility, developer productivity and end to end performance.
This is the development repository of Triton, a language and compiler for writing highly efficient custom Deep-Learning primitives. The aim of Triton is to provide an open-source environment to write fast code at higher productivity than CUDA, but also with higher flexibility than other existing DSLs.
The foundations of this project are described in the following MAPL2019 publication: [Triton: An Intermediate Language and Compiler for Tiled Neural Network Computations](http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~htk/publication/2019-mapl-tillet-kung-cox.pdf). Please consider citing this work if you use Triton!
