[Matrix] Make matrix.multiply variadic, accept optional NUW/NSW flags.

Summary

This patch extends the llvm.matrix.multiply intrinsic to accept variadic
arguments. This gives us greater flexibility in terms of optional
arguments. As a first use case, 2 optional bools can provided additional
arguments, to indicate that the NUW/NSW flags should be added to the
generated integer instructions.

The verifier is extended to limit the variadic arguments to exactly what
is specified in the LangRef.

has this reached a point where you want a separate LowerMatrixIntrinisicsOptions().setHasNUW(true).setHasNSW(false)and make this into
createMulAdd(Value *Sum, Value *A, Value *B, LowerMatrixIntrinisicsOptions options) ?

As a future user of the potential per-operand row/col major arguments it would make things much nicer IMO.

It reminds me that for float type we may have more flags to support. Do we need to have a strict FP version and fast FP version for it? Here is link of fast-math flags. https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#fast-math-flags.

FMF can be specified directly at the call site and it is already used for selecting fmuladd (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/test/Transforms/LowerMatrixIntrinsics/multiply-double-contraction-fmf.ll#L65). Other flags FMF should probably be passed through directly and there should be no need to use extra arguments for that.

For the constrained FP math mentioned by @tschuett we would need extra arguments to indicate the constrained versions should be used. This should be relatively straight-forward to do, but I probably won't have time to work on this in the next few months at least.

yeah, I've added a MultiplyOptions struct. Should help in the future, also with other fast-math flags/constrained math options.

Add MultiplyOptions struct.

No worries. I just wanted to point out that there are other efforts to define floating-point behaviour beyond fast-math.

I've put up an alternative approach, which uses operand bundles instead of variadic arguments: D81166 The approach in the new patch seems more lightweight, explicit and flexible.

It seems like the operand bundle approach is preferred. I'll abandon this patch for now.
