The dialect separation was introduced to demarkate ops operating in different
type systems. This is no longer the case after the LLVM dialect has migrated to
using built-in vector types, so the original reason for separation is no longer
valid. Squash the two dialects into one.
The code size decrease isn't quite large: the ops originally in LLVM_AVX512 are
preserved because they match LLVM IR intrinsics specialized for vector element
bitwidth. However, it is still conceptually beneficial to have only one
dialect. I originally considered to use Tablegen multiclasses to define both
the type-polymorphic op and its two intrinsic-related instantiations, but
decided against it given both the complexity of the required Tablegen input and
its dissimilarity with the rest of ODS-defined ops, both potentially resulting
in very poor maintainability.

The two dialects are largely redundant. The former was introduced as a mirror
of the latter operating on LLVM dialect types. This is no longer necessary
since the LLVM dialect operates on built-in types. Combine the two dialects.

This makes ignoring a result explicit by the user, and helps to prevent accidental errors with dropped results. Marking LogicalResult as no discard was always the intention from the beginning, but got lost along the way.

Historically, the Vector to LLVM dialect conversion subsumed the Standard to
LLVM dialect conversion patterns. This was necessary because the conversion
infrastructure did not have sufficient support for reconciling type
conversions. This support is now available. Only keep the patterns related to
the Vector dialect in the Vector to LLVM conversion and require type casts
operations to be inserted if necessary. These casts will be removed by
following conversions if possible. Update integration tests to also run the
Standard to LLVM conversion.
There is a significant amount of test churn, which is due to (a) unnecessarily
strict tests in VectorToLLVM and (b) many patterns actually targeting Standard
dialect ops instead of LLVM dialect ops leading to tests actually exercising a
Vector->Standard->LLVM conversion. This churn is a good illustration of the
reason to make the conversion partial: now the tests only check the code in the
Vector to LLVM conversion and will not be randomly broken by changes in
Standard to LLVM conversion.
Arguably, it may be possible to extract Vector to Standard patterns into a
separate pass, but given the ongoing splitting of the Standard dialect, such
pass will be short-lived and will require further refactoring.

A separate AVX512 lowering pass does not compose well with the regular
vector lowering pass. As such, it is at risk of code duplication and
lowering inconsistencies. This change removes the separate AVX512 lowering
pass and makes it an "option" in the regular vector lowering pass
(viz. vector dialect "augmented" with AVX512 dialect).
