Fix two problems in libdevice and external dispatch:
1. Use static triton types (e.g., tl.int32) instead of creating new
types. Otherwise, `tl.int32` and `tl.dtype('int32')` are not the same
thing.
2. The name of an extern inst should be empty but not the symbol name of
the inst. TTIR generator will assign names automatically. Otherwise, we
have the same variable name when there are multiple same extern insts.
Before the PR:
```bash
__nv_exp = extern_elementwise f64<1024> %11;
__nv_exp = extern_elementwise f64<1024> %11;
```
After the PR:
```bash
%12 = extern_elementwise f64<1024> %11;
%13 = extern_elementwise f64<1024> %11;
```
It is currently necessary for optimal performance in quantized workloads to add a special-purpose instruction in the IR. Backward compatibility with this instruction is *NOT* guaranteed.
This PR completely rewrites the runtime of Triton to be more lean and
clearly separate the compilation step from the just-in-time caching logic.
This should substantially reduce launch overhead.
This PR adds several optimization capabilities in the compiler backend:
- Now using inline PTX for `tl.store`, making it possible to use things like evict_last
- For A100, mma layout can be directly converted to shared memory
- For A100, an additional "transpose" argument in `dot` allows tensors to be loaded once and used both row- and col- major.
- Fixed liveness analysis; this was broken.
- Now can load/store directly mma layout without converting. Useful for when tl.dot accumulator is initialized with DRAM data inside of an inner loop.
- `tl.dot` can now take LHS inputs in registers when it comes from a previous `tl.dot` instruction. Useful for e.g. fused attention.
This is a more stable commit that produce bitwise identical code to earlier
versions. Using commits after this one may lead to slightly different numerics

Bug: "ret" value is destroyed when a failing "ptxas --version" is run
overwriting the previous valid "ret" value.
Fix: keep rets only for those runs which are successful. Pick the first
one
Current way of doing things is probably not super thread safe. init is shared between threads and some threads my not call the LLVMInitialize* function.
