[mlir][VectorType] Allow arbitrary dimensions to be scalable
At the moment, only the trailing dimensions in the vector type can be scalable, i.e. this is supported: vector<2x[4]xf32> and this is not allowed: vector<[2]x4xf32> This patch extends the vector type so that arbitrary dimensions can be scalable. To this end, an array of bool values is added to every vector type to denote whether the corresponding dimensions are scalable or not. For example, for this vector: vector<[2]x[3]x4xf32> the following array would be created: {true, true, false}. Additionally, the current syntax: vector<[2x3]x4xf32> is replaced with: vector<[2]x[3]x4xf32> This is primarily to simplify parsing (this way, the parser can easily process one dimension at a time rather than e.g. tracking whether "scalable block" has been entered/left). NOTE: The `isScalableDim` parameter of `VectorType` (introduced in this patch) makes `numScalableDims` redundant. For the time being, `numScalableDims` is preserved to facilitate the transition between the two parameters. `numScalableDims` will be removed in one of the subsequent patches. This change is a part of a larger effort to enable scalable vectorisation in Linalg.
