This is a revival of @gaxler initial ahead-of-time compiler proposal.
Code was simplified and some constraints were relaxed (i.e., we now
execute the entire file provided vs just the kernel AST) to promote
maintainability. A basic unit test was added, though it does not test
specialization right now.

The `triton/compiler`, `triton/runtime/driver`, and `triton/third_party`
subpackages were missing from the distribution built with the old
`setup.py` after #1464, causing an immediate error upon importing Triton
with a non-editable installation. This change adds the missing Python
subpackages and moves `triton/third_party` inclusion to `MANIFEST.in`,
where it will automatically be included in wheels due to the existing
`include_package_data` setup flag.
