This operation is produced and used by the super-vectorization passes and has
been emitted as an abstract unregistered operation until now. For end-to-end
testing purposes, it has to be eventually lowered to LLVM IR. Matching
abstract operation by name goes into the opposite direction of the generic
lowering approach that is expected to be used for LLVM IR lowering in the
future. Register vector_type_cast operation as a part of the SuperVector
dialect.
Arguably, this operation is a special case of the `view` operation from the
Standard dialect. The semantics of `view` is not fully specified at this point
so it is safer to rely on a custom operation. Additionally, using a custom
operation may help to achieve clear dialect separation.

From the beginning, vector_transfer_read and vector_transfer_write opreations
were intended as a mid-level vectorization abstraction. In particular, they
are lowered to the StandardOps dialect before further processing. As such, it
does not make sense to keep them at the same level as StandardOps. Introduce
the new SuperVectorOps dialect and move vector_transfer_* operations there.
This will be used as a testbed for the generic lowering/legalization pass.
