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).

The Vector Dialect [document](https://mlir.llvm.org/docs/Dialects/Vector/) discusses the vector abstractions that MLIR supports and the various tradeoffs involved.
One of the layer that is missing in OSS atm is the Hardware Vector Ops (HWV) level.
This revision proposes an AVX512-specific to add a new Dialect/Targets/AVX512 Dialect that would directly target AVX512-specific intrinsics.
Atm, we rely too much on LLVM’s peephole optimizer to do a good job from small insertelement/extractelement/shufflevector. In the future, when possible, generic abstractions such as VP intrinsics should be preferred.
The revision will allow trading off HW-specific vs generic abstractions in MLIR.
