[Libomptarget] Statically link all plugin runtimes
Summary:
This patch overhauls the `libomptarget` and plugin interface. Currently,
we define a C API and compile each plugin as a separate shared library.
Then, `libomptarget` loads these API functions and forwards its internal
calls to them. This was originally designed to allow multiple
implementations of a library to be live. However, since then no one has
used this functionality and it prevents us from using much nicer
interfaces. If the old behavior is desired it should instead be
implemented as a separate plugin.
This patch replaces the `PluginAdaptorTy` interface with the
`GenericPluginTy` that is used by the plugins. Each plugin exports a
`createPlugin_<name>` function that is used to get the specific
implementation. This code is now shared with `libomptarget`.
There are some notable improvements to this.
1. Massively improved lifetimes of life runtime objects
2. The plugins can use a C++ interface
3. Global state does not need to be duplicated for each plugin +
libomptarget
4. Easier to use and add features and improve error handling
5. Less function call overhead / Improved LTO performance.
Additional changes in this plugin are related to contending with the
fact that state is now shared. Initialization and deinitialization is
now handled correctly and in phase with the underlying runtime, allowing
us to actually know when something is getting deallocated.
