* [Feature] Enhance fill operation to support various buffer types

- Added support for `BufferLoad` in the `fill` function to handle different buffer types.
- Updated `Fill` class to process region descriptors and buffer regions, improving flexibility in buffer handling.
- Introduced checks for static bounds in region definitions to ensure safety during operations.
- Refactored loop induction variable handling in `FillNode` to accommodate sliced regions.

* [Refactor] Improve Python compatibility for ParamSpec and Self

- Added compatibility handling for ParamSpec and Self to support Python versions below 3.10 and 3.11 respectively.
- Updated type annotations across multiple files to ensure consistent usage of typing features.

* [Update] Require Python 3.9 and enhance type annotations

- Updated the minimum required Python version from 3.8 to 3.9 in `pyproject.toml`.
- Removed references to Python 3.8 in classifiers.
- Changed type annotations from `int | None` to `Optional[int]` in multiple example files for better clarity and compatibility.
- Improved import statements to use `collections.abc` for `Iterable` and `contextlib` for `AbstractContextManager` in relevant files.

* [Refactor] Update import statements to enhance type annotations

- Replaced imports from `typing` with `collections.abc` for `Iterable` and `Mapping` in relevant files to improve compatibility and clarity.
- Updated the caching decorator from `functools.lru_cache` to `functools.cache` for better performance in the C++ compiler retrieval function.
- Adjusted import statements in the language proxy file to maintain consistency in type annotations.

* [BugFix] Phaseout dependency of Triton in sink examples to make CI happy

- Added `benchmark_gqa_sink_fwd.py` and `benchmark_mha_sink_fwd.py` to evaluate performance of GQA and MHA attention mechanisms using Triton.
- Refactored existing attention sink implementations to remove Triton kernel definitions from the reference programs, streamlining the code.
- Updated input generation and benchmarking logic to enhance configurability and performance measurement.
- Improved overall structure and organization of the examples for better clarity and usability.
