[iree-import-onnx] improve handling of large models (#19217) This pr adds a few options: 1. `--large-model` allows disabling the onnx model checker if a user knows ahead of time that the model is too large. It will also not load the external weights in memory unless saving the parameters. 2. `--num-initializers-threshold` allows storing initializers to the irpa file in batches with a specified number of entries. This can reduce the memory overhead of first gathering all of the initializers, then saving them to the irpa at once. 3. `--externalize-inputs-threshold` allows converting inputs to externalized weights. This is useful for the following workflow: exporting a HF pytorch model with safetensors, saving a `.irpa` from the safetensor weights directly, and exporting to onnx with `export_params=False` and `do_constant_folding=False` (which converts weights to inputs and avoids folding weights with things like transposes). When importing to mlir, you can set `externalize-inputs-threshold=<num_original_inputs>` and it will convert the inputs from and beyond that threshold to `util.global` ops. 4. `--save-params`/`--no-save-params` factors saving parameters out of `import_initializer`, and one can avoid saving parameters with `--no-save-params`. Useful for debugging compilation failures. ## TODO: Figure out what to do about loading the onnx model and updating opset version. It's possible to do opset version updating without weights in a somewhat hacky way, since models > 2GB fail on opset version updating.

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.
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
