Description
As discussed in the ODM on 5/18/22. The idea is to transform
```mlir
hw.module @foo(%in: !hw.struct) -> (out: !hw.struct) {
%0 = hw.struct_extract %in["a"] : !hw.struct
%1 = hw.struct_extract %in["b"] : !hw.struct
%2 = hw.struct_create (%1, %0) : !hw.struct
hw.output %2 : !hw.struct
}
```
to
```mlir
hw.module @foo_flat(%in_a: i8, %in_b: i16) -> (out_c: i16, out_d: i8) {
hw.output %in_b, %in_a : i16, i8
}
```

Research direction
Use the two MLIR examples in the issue as the starting specification for the flattening pass. Trace how hw.struct types, hw.struct_extract, and hw.struct_create are represented and handled, then verify that the pass produces flattened module inputs and outputs with the shown ordering and equivalent values.
