Adds Native Tensor Core (F16) Support [mma.sync.16816.f16.f16 and ldmatrix] (#11817)

Adds native Tensor Core (F16) support for NVIDIA GPUs. Specifically,
adds support to target
`mma.sync.aligned.m16n8k16.row.col.f16.f16.f16.f16` and `ldmatrix`
instructions on NVIDIA A100 GPUs. For now, these instructions are not
enabled by default and requires using
(`--iree-codegen-llvmgpu-use-mma-sync=true`).

IREE runs row-row matmul and the native Tensor Core support requires
`ldmatrix` for operandA and `ldmatrix.trans` for operandB.
`ldmatrix.trans` transposes the data while loading to use Tensor Core
`mma*row.col*` instruction.

There are LLVM/MLIR upstream pathes and previous IREE PRs that enable
targeting native Tensor Core F16 support.

A few LLVM/MLIR upstream patches:
- [[mlir][NVGPU] Adding Support for cp_async_zfill via Inline
Asm](https://reviews.llvm.org/D132269)
- [[mlir][NVGPU] Handle Native mma.sync sizes and ldmatrix(x4) for
matrixB](https://reviews.llvm.org/D135749)
- [[mlir][NVGPU] Fix affine maps computing indices for LdMatrixOp

IREE: Intermediate Representation Execution Environment

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.

See our website for project details, user guides, and instructions on building from source.

CI Status

Project Status

IREE is still in its early phase. We have settled down on the overarching infrastructure and are actively improving various software components as well as project logistics. It is still quite far from ready for everyday use and is made available without any support at the moment. With that said, we welcome any kind of feedback on any communication channels!
