This commit contains several incremental improvements towards a clear
interface for lambdas:
- Unification of static and JIT compilation by using the static
compilation path of `CompilerEngine` within a new subclass
`JitCompilerEngine`.
- Clear ownership for compilation artefacts through
`CompilationContext`, making it impossible to destroy objects used
directly or indirectly before destruction of their users.
- Clear interface for lambdas generated by the compiler through
`JitCompilerEngine::Lambda` with a templated call operator,
encapsulating otherwise manual orchestration of `CompilerEngine`,
`JITLambda`, and `CompilerEngine::Argument`.
- Improved error handling through `llvm::Expected<T>` and proper
error checking following the conventions for `llvm::Expected<T>`
and `llvm::Error`.

LLVM errors should be handled/consumed. Creating a new one and leaving
the previous one alive will crash the compiler. Whenever we don't want a
crash (e.g. logging the error is enough), but still wanna continue the
execution, we can just consume it.
This refactoring commit restructures the compilation pipeline of
`zamacompiler`, such that it is possible to enter and exit the
pipeline at different points, effectively defining the level of
abstraction at the input and the required level of abstraction for the
output.
The entry point is specified using the `--entry-dialect`
argument. Valid choices are:
`--entry-dialect=hlfhe`: Source contains HLFHE operations
`--entry-dialect=midlfhe`: Source contains MidLFHE operations
`--entry-dialect=lowlfhe`: Source contains LowLFHE operations
`--entry-dialect=std`: Source does not contain any FHE Operations
`--entry-dialect=llvm`: Source is in LLVM dialect
The exit point is defined by an action, specified using --action.
`--action=roundtrip`:
Parse the source file to in-memory representation and immediately
dump as text without any processing
`--action=dump-midlfhe`:
Lower source to MidLFHE and dump result as text
`--action=dump-lowlfhe`:
Lower source to LowLFHE and dump result as text
`--action=dump-std`:
Lower source to only standard MLIR dialects (i.e., all FHE
operations have already been lowered)
`--action=dump-llvm-dialect`:
Lower source to MLIR's LLVM dialect (i.e., the LLVM dialect, not
LLVM IR)
`--action=dump-llvm-ir`:
Lower source to plain LLVM IR (i.e., not the LLVM dialect, but
actual LLVM IR)
`--action=dump-optimized-llvm-ir`:
Lower source to plain LLVM IR (i.e., not the LLVM dialect, but
actual LLVM IR), pass the result through the LLVM optimizer and
print the result.
`--action=dump-jit-invoke`:
Execute the full lowering pipeline to optimized LLVM IR, JIT
compile the result, invoke the function specified in
`--jit-funcname` with the parameters from `--jit-args` and print
the functions return value.
