Problem: the migration of `AT_DISPATCH_V2` macros to headeronly cannot be a simple copy-paste of macro definitions from one header file to another because the macros `AT_DISPATCH_SWITCH` and `AT_DISPATCH_CASE` may use functions that cannot be migrated to headeronly, e.g. when a selective build feature is enabled, there will be functions that are generated. On the other hand, when not using selective build, the dtype-dispatch macros are perfectly suitable for migrating to headeronly.
In this PR, the migration problem above is tackled by refactoring `AT_DISPATCH` related macros into headeronly macros and non-headeronly macros while preserving the current API and semantics. For instance, consider the current V2 macro definitions:
```c++
#define AT_DISPATCH_V2(TYPE, NAME, BODY, ...) \
AT_DISPATCH_SWITCH(TYPE, NAME, AT_AP_VAR(AT_WRAP(BODY), TYPE, __VA_ARGS__))
#define AT_AP_VAR(N, T, ...) \
AT_EXPAND(AT_CONCAT(AT_AP, AT_NUM_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__))(AT_WRAP(N), __VA_ARGS__))
#define AT_AP1(N, _1) AT_DISPATCH_CASE(_1, N)
...
```
where the headeronly-migration-problematic parts are using AT_DISPATCH_SWITCH and AT_DISPATCH_CASE macros (defined in ATen/Dispatch.h). In this PR, we introduce parametric versions of `AT_DISPATCH_V2` and `AT_AP1` macros that have `_TMPL` suffices, have DISPATCH_SWITCH and DISPATCH_CASE arguments, and are define in `torch/headeronly/core/Dispatch_v2.h`:
```c++
#define THO_DISPATCH_V2_TMPL( \
DISPATCH_SWITCH, DISPATCH_CASE, TYPE, NAME, BODY, ...) \
DISPATCH_SWITCH( \
TYPE, \
NAME, \
THO_AP_VAR_TMPL(DISPATCH_CASE, AT_WRAP(BODY), TYPE, __VA_ARGS__))
#define THO_AP_VAR_TMPL(C, N, T, ...) \
AT_EXPAND( \
AT_CONCAT(THO_AP, AT_NUM_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__))(C, AT_WRAP(N), __VA_ARGS__))
#define THO_AP1(C, N, _1) C(_1, N)
...
```
so that original V2 macro definition, defined in ATen/Dispatch_v2.h, becomes:
```c++
#define AT_DISPATCH_V2(TYPE, NAME, BODY, ...) \
THO_DISPATCH_V2_TMPL( \
AT_DISPATCH_SWITCH, \
AT_DISPATCH_CASE, \
TYPE, \
NAME, \
AT_WRAP(BODY), \
__VA_ARGS__)
```
that has exactly the same API and semantics as the original definition.
Note 1: ~we have changed the definition of `AT_AP1(N, _1) ...` to `AT_AP1(C, N, _1) ...` without renaming `AT_AP1` because `AT_AP1` is a helper macro that is not a part of public API (for instance, nothing in pytorch explicitly uses `AT_AP1`).~ UPDATE: restored the original `AT_AP` macros and introduced new `THO_AP` macros.
Note 2: this PR introduces a new API macro THO_DISPATCH_V2_TMPL that will be available for stable ABI users who can use it by providing custom versions of `AT_DISPATCH_SWITCH` and `AT_DISPATCH_CASE macros, say, with selective build features removed.
