[mlir][spirv] Support sub-byte integer types in type conversion
Typically GPUs cannot access memory in sub-byte manner. So for sub-byte integer type values, we need to either expand them to full bytes or tightly pack them. This commit adds support for tightly packed power-of-two sub-byte types. Sub-byte types aren't allowed in SPIR-V spec, so there are no compute/storage capability for them like other supported integer types. So we don't recognize sub-byte types in `spirv::ScalarType`. We just special case them in type converter and always convert to use i32 under the hood. Reviewed By: kuhar Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D150395
