* Only leaf packages are non-namespace packages. This allows most of the top levels to be split into different directories or deployment packages. In the previous state, the presence of __init__.py files at each level meant that the entire tree could only ever exist in one physical directory on the path.
* This changes the API usage slightly: `import mlir` will no longer do a deep import of `mlir.ir`, etc. This may necessitate some client code changes.
* Dialect gen code was restructured so that the user is responsible for providing the `my_dialect.py` file, which then must import its peer `_my_dialect_ops_gen`. This gives complete control of the dialect namespace to the user instead of to tablegen code, allowing further dialect-specific python APIs.
* Correspondingly, the previous extension modules `_my_dialect.py` are now `_my_dialect_ops_ext.py`.
* Now that the `linalg` namespace is open, moved the `linalg_opdsl` tool into it.
* This may require some corresponding downstream adjustments to npcomp, circt, et al:
* Probably some shallow imports need to be converted to deep imports (i.e. not `import mlir` brings in the world).
* Each tablegen generated dialect now needs an explicit `foo.py` which does a `from ._foo_ops_gen import *`. This is similar to the way that generated code operates in the C++ world.
* If providing dialect op extensions, those need to be moved from `_foo.py` -> `_foo_ops_ext.py`.
