user defined types (#17314)
Summary:
First pass at user defined types. The following is contained in this PR:
- `UserType` type, which contains a reference to a module with all methods for the type, and a separate namespace for data attributes (map of name -> TypePtr).
- `UserTypeRegistry`, similar to the operator registry
- `UserObject` which is the runtime representation of the user type (just a map of names -> IValues)
- `UserTypeValue` SugaredValue, to manage getattr and setattr while generating IR, plus compiler.cpp changes to make that work.
- Frontend changes to get `torch.jit.script` to work as a class decorator
- `ClassDef` node in our AST.
- primitive ops for object creation, setattr, and getattr, plus alias analysis changes to make mutation safe.
Things that definitely need to get done:
- Import/export, python_print support
- String frontend doesn't understand class definitions yet
- Python interop (using a user-defined type outside TorchScript) is completely broken
- Static methods (without `self`) don't work
Things that are nice but not essential:
- Method definition shouldn't matter (right now you can only reference a method that's already been defined)
- Class definitions can only contain defs, no other expressions are supported.
Things I definitely won't do initially:
- Polymorphism/inheritance
