Research direction

Start by reading azure.quantum.cirq.targets.Target and compare it with the AzureQirBackend extension of azure.quantum.qiskit.backends.AzureBackendBase. Determine how qir.v1 input is handled there and what equivalent Cirq target behavior is required; done means a Cirq target accepts qir.v1 input in the same way.

Description

Feature Request: It would be great if we could extend the azure.quantum.cirq.targets.Target with a QirTarget (or similar) sub-class that supports the qir.v1 input data format in the same way that the azure.quantum.qiskit.backends.AzureBackendBase is extended by the AzureQirBackend
