[HAL] Add command buffer flush and invalidate operations (#24945) This PR adds HAL and runtime plumbing for ordered command-buffer buffer flush and invalidate operations. It introduces: * `hal.command_buffer.flush_buffer` * `hal.command_buffer.invalidate_buffer` * HAL-to-VM lowering and VM imports * runtime command-buffer API and vtable hooks * VM module/shim plumbing * inline command-buffer support * deferred command-buffer recording/replay support * HAL IR and HAL-to-VM test coverage The operations carry a buffer reference, offset, and length and are intended to represent execution-ordered cache maintenance for shared non-coherent memory. Stream-to-HAL lowering is intentionally left unchanged in this PR. Some backends, especially Vulkan, require queue/submission-level handling to preserve execution-time ordering because a HAL command buffer is currently replayed into a single native `VkCommandBuffer`. Enabling Stream lowering before that backend support exists could cause unsupported runtime paths. This PR therefore focuses on establishing the HAL/runtime infrastructure first. Backend-specific execution support and Stream lowering can follow separately. Related to #24930.

IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.
