[mlir][ArmSME] Introduce custom TypeConverter for ArmSME
At the moment, SME-to-LLVM lowerings rely entirely on `LLVMTypeConverter`. This patch introduces a dedicated `TypeConverter` that inherits from `LLVMTypeConverter` (it will also be used when lowering ArmSME Ops to LLVM). The new type converter merely disables lowerings for `VectorType` to prevent 2-d scalable vectors (common in the context of ArmSME), e.g. `vector<[16]x[16]xi8>`, entering the LLVM Type converter. LLVM does not support arrays of scalable vectors and hence the need for specialisation. In the case of SME such types are effectively eliminated when emitting LLVM IR intrinsics for SME.
