Added a new differential type system and various improvements (#2343)

* Merge slang-ir-diff-jvp.cpp

* Added support and tests for other float vector types

* Added swizzle test and code to handle it (tests failing currently)

* Fixed one test, the other is still pending

* Fixed instruction cloning logic to avoid modifying original function

* Fixed an issue with custom 'pow_jvp' and added support for vector contructor

* Minor update to comments

* Fixed support for division

* Fixed an issue with uninitialized diagnostic sink

* Moved derivative processing to after mandatory inlining.

Skip instructions that don't have side-effects and aren't used by anything.

* WIP: Handling unconditional control flow and multi-block functions

* Support for unconditional multi-block functions

* Added a dead code elimination step to the derivative pass

* Changed name of 'hasNoSideEffects()'

* Refactored variable names

* Added initial IR defs for new type system

* Added necessary logic for semantic checking

* Overhauled type system to use builtin pair types and conform to the IDifferentiable interface

* Automatically replace IRDifferentiablePairType to a custom IRStructType

* Added generics handling by expanding the conformance context functionality and allowing for type parameters

* Minor fix: early return in processPairTypes()

* Minor fixes to differentiable resolution on generic types

* Added new instructions for differential pairs. Basic tests work now.

Looking into generic types.

* Adjusted most tests to the new type system. OutType and InOutType are still not properly working.

* Updated __jvp to produce both primal and differential output

* Moved autodiff related declarations to diff.meta.slang

* Removed external changes

* Cleanup the transcription logic: each case returns a pair of insts for the primal and differential computation.
