[llvm-dev] Proposal for CIRCT incubator project

[Stephen Neuendorffer via llvm-dev]

Renato, I'm happy to kibitz on the build problems.  Cmake seems to be
working well at this point for us, but it took quite a bit to get there and
there are some pitfalls. I'm aware of some namespace issues in mlir, but
haven't gotten around to dealing with them.
