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
Moved dispatch.cc to semantic.py (@ptillet)
Integer signedness analysis was moved from C++ to python (@daadaada)
Cleaner frontend types (@daadaada)
Moved SSA construction to a separate object (@ptillet)

I've been using this locally to find errors without running tests, and now that we're using autopep8, it passes with minimal suppressions. This is also what turned up the issues with the tutorials, which were fixed in #422.
Run:
```
isort ./python
autopep8 -i --ignore E501,E701,E731 $(find ./python/ -name '*.py')
```
with an `.isort.cfg` and then clean up a few warts. This PR should be a no-op; the idea is that this is all boring whitespace changes, and any config file changes will be in a different change to make it easier to review.
A forthcoming PR will update the RNG to use these types.
Also:
- Add tests for the `//`, `<<`, and `>>` operators.
- Change `TensorWrapper` to unwrap objects when the resulting object would be simpler.
- Clean up `throw_unreachable`, since it was triggering compiler warnings.
Since numpy supports unsigned integers, and pytorch doesn't, this will make it easier to test unsigned integer support.
This adds an explicit requirement for numpy in tests, but we already required scipy, so it was already an implicit dependency.
- `BF16TyID` was missing a repr implementation.
- Throw a better exception on impossible casts.
- Add a few assertions. Tested with a debug build.
- Add `pointer_dtype.__str__` to aid kernel debugging.
- Promote 16-bit floating-point `/` and `%` to 32-bit; we have to anyway.
- Do not force result of integer binary operations to be the LHS type. There used to be a bug in pytorch that did this, which Triton matched, but that bug is fixed now.
- When testing signed integer operations, use random numbers from the full range of the type.
- Add an optional `seed` argument to `triton.testing.random` so binary operations are not tested with both sides equal when the LHS and RHS have the same type.
- Fix a bad `CompilationError` invocation.
- Fix a warning suppression that causes tests to fail if you run them with `-W error` on python 3.8.
- Fix some whitespace.
- Make an undeclared dependency on `pytest` explicit.
- Fix deprecated `description-file` use.
- `#ifdef` out a deprecated `PyEval_InitThreads` call.
- Use a slightly different numpy invocation in `test_random.py` to quiet down overflow warnings in tests.
- Fix a deprecated cast in `test_core.py`.
- Suppress a warning about `visit_Constant` in Python 3.9+; we can't migrate yet because it'd break Python 3.6 and 3.7.
- Use chained exceptions for `CompilationError` rather than rolling our own; it makes the error messages nicer.
- Add a `__str__` for `tl.dtype` to make debugging kernels easier; it lets you `print` a dtype to see what type was inferred.
- Fix a few bad escapes.
