ONNX, which I was hoping would be a convenient way to define NNs in Python to then compile using xDSL, has proven to be a massive maintenance burden, and generally not very good. They are slow to support new Python versions, poor typing support, and the import mechanism is not very stable, so I couldn't even reliably import networks. Our code for it is fairly buggy, and the bug fixes weren't all merged before Kayode finished his masters project.
Given Quidditch and IREE's support for importing ONNX, I don't see the point of having our implementation in xDSL, hence this PR.
