Move AutoTuner into its own Git repository

[jeffng-or]

Description

The current AutoTuner is loosely coupled with ORFS in that it’s built on top of ORFS, but doesn’t link directly to ORFS. Since it calls ORFS via a shell command, ORFS is really no different than any other tool.

Since we have discussed opportunities for the AutoTuner to call other tools (e.g. bazel-orfs, other third party tools), it makes natural sense to decouple it from ORFS. ORFS will remain the tool-of-choice, of course.

A new set of AutoTuner-specific CI pipelines will need to be created (e.g. smoke tests, regression tests, including QoR, lint/formatting checks, pre-commit hooks)

We might want to couple an ORFS version with an AutoTuner version, but there are other ways of accomplishing the same goal
