Refactor: Integrate Pybind11 and Refactor NPU Passes for Compile Speedup and Size Reduction

This commit introduces significant improvements to the NPU backend focusing on code architecture and build performance:

1. NPU Code Refactoring: NPU-specific logic was successfully decoupled from the monolithic 'triton-shared' component and re-implemented as dedicated, cleaner passes and patterns. This greatly enhances code clarity and maintainability.

2. Performance Boost (Pybind11): Integrated Pybind11, effectively eliminating Python-C++ interface overhead. Compilation benchmarks show intermediate stages (e.g., ttir_post, ttshared, linkedir) are now over 60% faster on average.

3. Binary Size Optimization: The implementation allows for the removal of the external 'opt' dependency, resulting in a substantial reduction of the release package size: Before: ~488MB After: ~330MB

Note for Publish Build:

To generate the optimized release version, ensure the environment variable is set: export IS_NOT_PUBLISH=0
