[mlir] use built-in vector types instead of LLVM dialect types when possible

Continue the convergence between LLVM dialect and built-in types by using the
built-in vector type whenever possible, that is for fixed vectors of built-in
integers and built-in floats. LLVM dialect vector type is still in use for
pointers, less frequent floating point types that do not have a built-in
equivalent, and scalable vectors. However, the top-level `LLVMVectorType` class
has been removed in favor of free functions capable of inspecting both built-in
and LLVM dialect vector types: `LLVM::getVectorElementType`,
`LLVM::getNumVectorElements` and `LLVM::getFixedVectorType`. Additional work is
necessary to design an implemented the extensions to built-in types so as to
remove the `LLVMFixedVectorType` entirely.

Note that the default output format for the built-in vectors does not have
whitespace around the `x` separator, e.g., `vector<4xf32>` as opposed to the
LLVM dialect vector type format that does, e.g., `!llvm.vec<4 x fp128>`. This
required changing the FileCheck patterns in several tests.
