[MLIR] Add f4E2M1FN type (llvm#108877)

This PR adds `f4E2M1FN` type to mlir.

`f4E2M1FN` type is proposed in [OpenCompute MX
Specification](https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-microscaling-formats-mx-v1-0-spec-final-pdf).
It defines a 4-bit floating point number with bit layout S1E2M1. Unlike
IEEE-754 types, there are no infinity or NaN values.

```c
f4E2M1FN
- Exponent bias: 1
- Maximum stored exponent value: 3 (binary 11)
- Maximum unbiased exponent value: 3 - 1 = 2
- Minimum stored exponent value: 1 (binary 01)
- Minimum unbiased exponent value: 1 − 1 = 0
- Has Positive and Negative zero
- Doesn't have infinity
- Doesn't have NaNs

Additional details:
- Zeros (+/-): S.00.0
- Max normal number: S.11.1 = ±2^(2) x (1 + 0.5) = ±6.0
- Min normal number: S.01.0 = ±2^(0) = ±1.0
- Min subnormal number: S.00.1 = ±2^(0) x 0.5 = ±0.5
```
