A unit attribute is an attribute that represents a value of `unit` type. The
`unit` type allows only one value forming a singleton set. This attribute value
is used to represent attributes that only have meaning from their existence.
One example of such an attribute could be the `swift.self` attribute. This attribute indicates that a function parameter is the self/context
parameter. It could be represented as a boolean attribute(true or false), but a
value of false doesn't really bring any value. The parameter either is the
self/context or it isn't.
```mlir {.mlir}
// A unit attribute defined with the `unit` value specifier.
func @verbose_form(i1 {unitAttr : unit})
// A unit attribute can also be defined without the `unit` value specifier.
func @simple_form(i1 {unitAttr})
```
