Currently, platform name canonicalization triggers only for platforms that have runtime backends.
As a result, deviceless ahead-of-time compilation fails because there is no runtime backend without a device (and platform name canonicalization is required by MLIR lowering).
This patch registers compile-only backends (with their canonical names) in xla_bridge when the backends are created and then uses the canonical name when we try to extract the platform name from a backend. With this patch, topology-based AOT works even when there is no device for the platform.
Fixes #23971.
