Summary: In cases where we have a permute -> slice, it's better to slice before the permute if the slice is not already happening on dim 0. If it is happening on dim 0, it can still be profitable to move the slice before the permute if permute shape product > 2 * slice shape product.

Summary:
If we have a permute -> unary chain -> mean, based on the reduction dims of the mean, we can either fully remove the preceding permute or move the permute after the mean.

Case 1: Dims after permute are still in same order with respect to each other, we can fully get rid of the permute and just update the reduction dims of the mean.

Case 2: Not case 1. In this case, it's better to move the permute after the mean, since the permute will operate on less data.

I've seen lots of cases where we have a mean followed by a view which can either be fused into mean with keepdim True or False. These views typically become no-ops, however it's nice to remove them if we don't need them. Can potentially make work for later passes easier that are looking for mean, but view in the way.

Pull Request resolved: pytorch#19120

If we have back to back slices on the same dimension, we can remove the top slice and just perform the second one. RemoveOrReplacePassInterface will handle a whole cascade if it exists.

Summary: It can be good to permute before a long chain of slices/cats, so that they are on dim 0 and effectively become nops. However, there are cases where this is not desirable. We should have a pass
