[MLIR] Make MLIR cmake variable names consistent

Summary

Fix inconsistent MLIR CMake variable names. Consistently name them as
MLIR_ENABLE_<feature>.

Eg: MLIR_CUDA_RUNNER_ENABLED -> MLIR_ENABLE_CUDA_RUNNER

MLIR follows (or has mostly followed) the convention of naming
cmake enabling variables in the from MLIR_ENABLE_... etc. Using a
convention here is easy and also important for convenience. A counter
pattern was started with variables named MLIR_..._ENABLED. This led to a
sequence of related counter patterns: MLIR_CUDA_RUNNER_ENABLED,
MLIR_ROCM_RUNNER_ENABLED, etc.. From a naming standpoint, the imperative
form is more meaningful. Additional discussion at:
https://llvm.discourse.group/t/mlir-cmake-enable-variable-naming-convention/3520

Switch all inconsistent ones to the ENABLE form. Keep the couple of old
mappings needed until buildbot config is migrated.

Simplify cmake var check.

I don't think this will actually override the cached setting. I think the more robust idiom is to move this above Ave use it to define a MLIR_ENABLE_BINDINGS_PYTHON_DEFAULT. And use that as the default value for the new cache variable.

There are some examples of this idiom in the root llvm cmake file.

Thanks. A normal CMake variable actually hides any cache variables, but it isn't good practice to have a normal and cache variable with the same name. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/set.html#set
I've now fixed it I believe in the way you are recommending.

Thanks, and yes, I've washed a bunch of time with the shadowing in the past and try to avoid it.
