Introduce missing APIs to lower ExportedProgram objects directly (#8909)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #8909

Currently, there is an imbalance in compilation APIs where the `export_to_executorch` function is used on a module, although that module is already from an exported program. This diff introduces APIs to further lower ExportedPrograms directly, without going back to module.
