The current batching pass only supports batching of operations that
have a single batchable operand, that can only be batched in one way
and that operate on scalar values. However, this does not allow for
efficient batching of all arithmetic operations in TFHE, since these
are often applied to pairs of scalar values from tensors, to tensors
and scalars or to tensors that can be grouped in higher-order tensors.
This commit introduces three new features for batching:
1. Support of multiple batchable operands
The operation interface for batching now allows for the
specification of multiple batchable operands. This set can be
composed of any subset of an operation's operands, i.e., it is
not limited to sets of operands with contiguous operand indexes.
2. Support for multiple batching variants
To account for multiple kinds of batching, the batching operation
interface `BatchableOpInterface` now supports variants. The
batching pass attempts to batch an operation by trying the
batching variants expressed via the interface in order until it
succeeds.
3. Support for batching of tensor values
Some operations that could be batched already operate on tensor
values. The new batching pass detects those patterns and groups
the batchable tensors' values into higher-dimensional tensors.
