Introduce `mlc` device (ML Compute device) to PyTorch's device list (#50634)
Summary:
Apple recently announced ML Compute, a new framework available in macOS Big Sur, which enables users to accelerate the training of neural networks on Mac hardware. This PR is the first on a series of PRs that will enable the integration with ML Compute. Most of the integration code will live on a separate subrepo named `mlc`.
The integration with `mlc` (ML Compute) will be very similar to that of xla. We rely on registering our ops through:
TORCH_LIBRARY_IMPL(aten, PrivateUse1, m) {
m.impl_UNBOXED(<op_schema_name>, &customized_op_kernel)
...
}
