[REFACTOR][NODE][RUNTIME] Move Node to the new Object protocol. (#4161) · 7895adb2
* [REFACTOR][NODE][RUNTIME] Move Node to the new Object protocol. This PR removes the original node system, and make node as a subclass of Object. This is a major refactor towards a better unified runtime object system. List of changes in the refactor: - We now hide data_ field, use Downcast explicitly to get a sub-class object. - Removed the node system FFI in python. - Removed the node C API, instead use PackedFunc for list and get attrs. - Change relay::Op::set_attr_type_key(attr_key_name) to relay::Op::set_attr_type<AttrType>(). - This change was necessary because of the new Object registration mechanism. - Subsequent changes to the op registrations - The change revealed a few previous problems that is now fixed. - Patched up a few missing node type registration. - Now we will raise an error if we register object that is not registered. - The original node.h and container.h are kept in the same location. - Calling convention: kObjectHandle now equals the old kNodeHandle, kNodeHandle is removed. - IRFunctor now dispatches on ObjectRef. - Update to the new type checking API: is_type, derived_from are replaced by IsInstance. - Removed .hash member function, instead use C++ convention hasher functors. * Address review comments
