Missing C-API (wishlist)

[vchuravy]

• In Add ExecutionEngine test #10 I noticed that I would want a translateModuleToLLVMIR and handle the ExecutionEngine work on the LLVM.jl for greater flexibility.

One way to handle this is to propose them upstream, and then backport them ala LLVMExtra.

Looks like it got into MLIR:

Adding a few things that does not seem implemented in the C API and could be useful for us:

• mlir::irdl::loadDialects(ModuleOp op)
• Dynamic and extensible dialects.
