- refactoring serialization of ONNX initializers to be name-based (#17420)
Summary:
Currently, serialization of model parameters in ONNX export depends on the order in which they are stored in a container (`list` on Python side and `std::vector` on C++ side). This has worked fine till now, but if we need to do any pass on that graph that mutates the parameter list, then strictly order-based serialization may not work.
This PR is the first in a set to bring in more passes (such as constant folding) related to ONNX export. This PR lays the groundwork by moving the serialization in ONNX export from order-based to name based approach, which is more amenable to some of the passes.
houseroad - As discussed this change uses a map for export, and removes the code from `export.cpp` that relies on the order to compute initializer names.
