Subject: [PATCH] [IR][Debug] Add dump and print for debugging (NFC)

- Add two utility functions for debugging. With this change,
  developers could use

  `print op->dump()` or `print op->print()`

  inside a debugger (lldb or gdb). Object op could be either
  of type Object or ObjectRef.

  Note that the existing tvm::Dump(ref) does not work on
  objects of type tvm::Object. Sometimes lldb cannot locate
  this Dump function inside a visitor context.
