[flang] Add policy-driven allocation-placement pass

Introduce a new function-level pass, allocation-placement, that unifies the
stack/heap placement decisions currently split between the stack-arrays and
memory-allocation-opt passes. For each array allocation it consults a policy
to decide whether it should live on the stack (fir.alloca) or the heap
(fir.allocmem) and rewrites it accordingly, reusing fir::replaceAllocas for
stack-to-heap and the StackArrays analysis/rewrite for heap-to-stack (so
heap-to-stack only happens where it is provably safe).

The default policy (AllocationPlacementPolicy.h) is threshold-driven:
  - small constant-size arrays go on the stack within a per-function stack
    budget, otherwise on the heap;
  - big constant-size arrays: user variables stay on the stack, temporaries
    go on the heap;
  - runtime-sized arrays go on the heap;
  - an aggressive mode places all arrays on the stack (best effort).
User variables are distinguished from compiler temporaries via the presence
of a uniqued name. A hook lets downstream users override the thresholds per
allocation (e.g. for device routines or parallel regions).

The pass is not wired into any pipeline yet; it is reachable through fir-opt
and covered by isolated tests.

Git commit 11640c8923e02979ef511199c620e4a2f748898e by Jean Perier (on behalf of root) on 21/07/2026 at 10:12..
[flang] Wire allocation-placement into the optimizer pipeline (experimental)

Add a hidden -enable-allocation-placement flag that, when set, replaces the
stack-arrays and memory-allocation-opt passes in the default FIR optimizer
pipeline with the unified allocation-placement pass. The flag is off by
default, so the legacy passes remain the default path and behavior is
unchanged.

When enabled, the pass runs with its default byte-size thresholds; the
-fstack-arrays strategy is forwarded through the new stackArrays option.
