[spirv] Add spv.loop
SPIR-V can explicitly declare structured control-flow constructs using merge instructions. These explicitly declare a header block before the control flow diverges and a merge block where control flow subsequently converges. These blocks delimit constructs that must nest, and can only be entered and exited in structured ways. Instead of having a `spv.LoopMerge` op to directly model loop merge instruction for indicating the merge and continue target, we use regions to delimit the boundary of the loop: the merge target is the next op following the `spv.loop` op and the continue target is the block that has a back-edge pointing to the entry block inside the `spv.loop`'s region. This way it's easier to discover all blocks belonging to a construct and it plays nicer with the MLIR system. Updated the SPIR-V.md doc. PiperOrigin-RevId: 267431010
