Tianqi Chen 275114b327 [REFACTOR][IR] Unify PrimExpr with Expr typed view (#19910)
## 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.
