The differentiation transform does the following:
- Canonicalizes differentiability witnesses by filling in missing derivative
function entries.
- Canonicalizes `differentiable_function` instructions by filling in missing
derivative function operands.
- If necessary, performs automatic differentiation: generating derivative
functions for original functions.
- When encountering non-differentiability code, produces a diagnostic and
errors out.
Partially resolves TF-1211: add the main canonicalization loop.
To incrementally stage changes, derivative functions are currently created
with empty bodies that fatal error with a nice message.
Derivative emitters will be upstreamed separately.
