Description:
Implement the logic for executing Placeholders in the execution engine.
This commit changes the backend interface and adds the ability to pass
Placeholder variables in addition to Variables. This change breaks the
out-of-tree backends.
This is the first step in adding support for placeholder variables in
the execution engine. The commit adds support to the interpreter but not
to the OpenCL and CPU backends.
Testing: Ran the local tests (ninja check)
Documentation: updated doxygen comments.
