The Concrete Optimizer is invoked on a representation of the program
in the high-level FHELinalg / FHE Dialects and yields a solution with
a one-to-one mapping of operations to keys. However, the abstractions
used by these dialects do not allow for references to keys and the
application of the solution is delayed until the pipeline reaches a
representation of the program in the lower-level TFHE dialect. Various
transformations applied by the pipeline along the way may break the
one-to-one mapping and add indirections into producer-consumer
relationships, resulting in ambiguous or partial mappings of TFHE
operations to the keys. In particular, explicit frontiers between
optimizer partitions may not be recovered.
This commit preserves explicit frontiers between optimizer partitions
as `optimizer.partition_frontier` operations and lowers these to
keyswitch operations before parametrization of TFHE operations.
This commit:
+ Adds support for a protocol which enables inter-op between concrete,
tfhe-rs and potentially other contributors to the fhe ecosystem.
+ Gets rid of hand-made serialization in the compiler, and
client/server libs.
+ Refactors client/server libs to allow more pre/post processing of
circuit inputs/outputs.
The protocol is supported by a definition in the shape of a capnp file,
which defines different types of objects among which:
+ ProgramInfo object, which is a precise description of a set of fhe
circuit coming from the same compilation (understand function type
information), and the associated key set.
+ *Key objects, which represent secret/public keys used to
encrypt/execute fhe circuits.
+ Value object, which represent values that can be transferred between
client and server to support calls to fhe circuits.
The hand-rolled serialization that was previously used is completely
dropped in favor of capnp in the whole codebase.
The client/server libs, are refactored to introduce a modular design for
pre-post processing. Reading the ProgramInfo file associated with a
compilation, the client and server libs assemble a pipeline of
transformers (functions) for pre and post processing of values coming in
and out of a circuit. This design properly decouples various aspects of
the processing, and allows these capabilities to be safely extended.
In practice this commit includes the following:
+ Defines the specification in a concreteprotocol package
+ Integrate the compilation of this package as a compiler dependency
via cmake
+ Modify the compiler to use the Encodings objects defined in the
protocol
+ Modify the compiler to emit ProgramInfo files as compilation
artifact, and gets rid of the bloated ClientParameters.
+ Introduces a new Common library containing the functionalities shared
between the compiler and the client/server libs.
+ Introduces a functional pre-post processing pipeline to this common
library
+ Modify the client/server libs to support loading ProgramInfo objects,
and calling circuits using Value messages.
+ Drops support of JIT.
+ Drops support of C-api.
+ Drops support of Rust bindings.

Instead of having one `getSQManp` implementation per op with a lot of repetition, the noise
calculation is now modular.
- Ops that implements`UnaryEint`/`BinaryInt`/`BinaryEint` interfaces share the operand noise
presence check.
- For many scalar ops no further calculation is needed. If it's not the case, an op can override
`sqMANP`.
- Integer operand types lookups are abstracted into `BinaryInt::operandIntType()`
- Finding largest operand value for a type is abstracted into `BinaryInt::operandMaxConstant`
- Noise calculation for matmul ops is simplified and it's now general enough to work for
`matmul_eint_int`, `matmul_int_eint` and `dot_eint_int` at once.
This commit rebases the compiler onto commit 465ee9bfb26d from
llvm-project with locally maintained patches on top, i.e.:
* 5d8669d669ee: Fix the element alignment (size) for memrefCopy
* 4239163ea337: fix: Do not fold the memref.subview if the offset are
!= 0 and strides != 1
* 72c5decfcc21: remove github stuff from llvm
* 8d0ce8f9eca1: Support arbitrary element types in named operations
via attributes
* 94f64805c38c: Copy attributes of scf.for on bufferization and make
it an allocation hoisting barrier
Main upstream changes from llvm-project that required modification of
concretecompiler:
* Switch to C++17

ODS-generated operation classes from `some_value()` to
`getSomeValue()`
* Renaming of Arithmetic dialect to Arith
* Refactoring of side effect interfaces (i.e., renaming from
`NoSideEffect` to `Pure`)
* Re-design of the data flow analysis framework
* Refactoring of build targets for Python bindings
* Refactoring of array attributes with integer values

finalize-memref-to-llvm passes before converson to the LLVM
dialect

`llvm::MutableArrayRef` (direct invocation of constructor instead
of builder functions for some cases)

of some check tests
* Refactoring of `mlir::LLVM::lookupOrCreateMallocFn()`
* Interface changes in generated type parsers
* New dependencies for to mlir_float16_utils and
