Will Constable 328cfd50e7 Move debug_util and python_util to torch/csrc/lazy (#72607)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/72607

since python isn't available from libtorch, most of lazy tensor
code can't depend on python.
separate python_util into libtorch_python library
make debug_util and IR dump work with or without python by providing
a default function for 'maybe getting python stacktrace' that returns
an empty stacktrace
use a registration mechanism on libtorch_python library load to update
the 'maybe' function to use the real python stacktrace getter

Test Plan:
OSS build tests:
- test_ptltc by itself works
- LTC_SAVE_TENSORS_FILE=log test_ptltc works, and log contains
empty stacktrces
- python examply.py by itself works
- LTC_SAVE_TENSORS_FILE=log test_ptltc works, and log contains
real stacktraces

fbcode build: rely on CI to run test/lazy

Lazy Tensor Python Code

Lazy Tensor Core is part of libtorch, which can not depend on python.

Parts of lazy tensor core use python for 2 purposes A) py bindings let python programs call into lazy tensor c++ code B) lazy tensor core calls into python to use it (e.g. for grabbing stack traces)

(A) is trivial since the python bindings only depend on libtorch; (B) requires making libtorch_python register a function with libtorch if loaded, and having a default (no-op) function otherwise. Any functionality that strictly needs to depend on python should be part of the 'python' folder.
