## Summary
- Make `PrimExpr` a typed C++ view over `Expr` values whose
`ExprNode::ty` is `PrimType`, instead of using a separate runtime node
class as the proof of primitive-ness.
- Use the shared `ir::Call` node for Relax, TIRX, and primitive-valued
calls, while keeping primitive-only APIs explicit at their semantic
boundaries.
- Keep Python on the general `Expr` surface for primitive-typed values
so `isinstance` behavior does not imply a nominal primitive-expression
subclass.
## Design Rationale
The main advantage of this change is that common expression nodes such
as `Call` can be unified without specializing each one to `PrimType`. A
single `ir::Call` can represent a Relax tensor call, a Relax scalar
call, or a primitive-valued intrinsic call; the result type stored in
`ExprNode::ty` determines whether that particular value can be viewed as
`PrimExpr`.
This keeps the IR node hierarchy focused on expression structure rather
than result-type categories. Nodes that are intrinsically primitive,
such as integer and floating-point literals or TIRX primitive operators,
still have strongly typed C++ APIs and data structures. General nodes
whose result type may vary, such as `Call`, remain general `Expr` nodes
and are narrowed to `PrimExpr` only where primitive-only semantics are
required.
The PR also keeps the compatibility surface practical: C++
primitive-only APIs continue to accept `PrimExpr`, Python exposes a
compatibility predicate for checking the primitive typed category, and
visitors/printers use one natural `Call` path rather than duplicating
Relax and primitive call handling. Missing expression types are
represented explicitly with `Type::Missing()` so constructors can leave
type inference to later analysis without relying on nullable `Type`
values.
This PR makes `arith::Analyzer` a first-class tvm-ffi object.
The implementation splits the previous concrete `Analyzer` class into:
- `AnalyzerObj`, the mutable object node that owns analyzer state,
sub-analyzers, caches, and bindings
- `Analyzer`, a reference-counted `ObjectRef` handle that can be passed
across the tvm-ffi boundary
This allows Python and C++ to share the same analyzer instance, so
bindings, constraints, and cached facts can persist across FFI calls.
Public APIs that accept an analyzer now use `const arith::Analyzer&`,
while internal helper APIs that only borrow the object continue to use
`AnalyzerObj*`.

## Summary
This PR adds the initial TIRx support needed for low-level programming
of Blackwell-class GPU architectures. As part of the ongoing TIRx
refactor, it introduces TVMScript support for directly scripting
advanced hardware features without relying on scheduling as the primary
programming interface.
The change keeps existing `s_tir` script support intact while making
direct scripting a first-class path for TIRx programs.
## Main Changes
- Add TIRx operator dispatch and layout infrastructure.
- Add TVMScript support for new low-level TIRx operations.
- Add analysis, transform, and lowering support for TIRx IR nodes.
- Add CUDA/Blackwell-oriented codegen and intrinsic coverage.
- Add Python and C++ integration points for TIRx scripting and runtime
support.

## Local CI Notes
Some full CI-equivalent jobs were not locally reproducible because this
machine is missing parts of the Apache TVM CI environment, including
`llvm-config-15/17`, Vulkan, ROCm, Maven, Sphinx, Doxygen, Emscripten,
and ARM/QEMU cross-toolchain components. Metal-specific tests were
skipped locally because no Metal runtime is available.
This PR brings up the tirx namespace. We have been spliting out the
original tir namespace to include high-level component s_tir and this PR
updates the remaining low-level part as tirx namespace
