# Motivation
This PR intends to make device-specific Event inherit from the generic torch.Event. The benefit is providing a generic abstract class `torch.Event` for different devices, like `torch.Stream`. This make it easier for Dynamo to capture the Event of different devices, like torch.cuda.Event and torch.xpu.Event.
And the next PR would like to remove previous useless base class `_StreamBase` and `_EventBase` to avoid multiple Inheritance.

# Motivation
As mentioned in [[RFC] Intel GPU Runtime Upstreaming](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/114842), the next runtime component we would like to upstream is `Event` which handles the status of an operation that is being executed. Typically, in some circumstances, we can fine-grain control of the operation execution via `Event`.
# Design
`XPUEvent` is a movable but not a copyable wrapper around sycl event. It should be created lazily on an XPU device when recording an `XPUStream`. Meanwhile, `XPUEvent` can wait for another `XPUEvent` or all the submitted kernels on an `XPUStream` to complete. Align to the other backend, the C++ files related to `Event` will be placed in `aten/src/ATen/xpu` folder. For frontend code, `XPUEvent` runtime API will be bound to Python `torch.xpu.Event`. The corresponding C++ code will be placed in `torch/csrc/xpu/Event.cpp` and Python code will be placed in `torch/xpu/streams.py` respectively.
# Additional Context
It is worth mentioning that the `elapsed_time` method is temporarily not supported by `XPUEvent`. We will be adding support for it soon. Meanwhile `XPUEvent` doesn't support IPC from different processes. For the other parts, we have almost a 1:1 mapping with CUDA.
lack of the below APIs:
- `torch.cuda.Event.ipc_handle`
- `CUDAEvent`'s constructor with `IpcEventHandle`
