aartbik ee01c7a740 [mlir] [VectorOps] Add choice between dot and axpy lowering of vector.contract
Default vector.contract lowering essentially yields a series of sdot/ddot
operations. However, for some layouts a series of saxpy/daxpy operations,
chained through fma are more efficient. This CL introduces a choice between
the two lowering paths. A default heuristic is to follow.

Some preliminary avx2 performance numbers for matrix-times-vector.
Here, dot performs best for 64x64 A x b and saxpy for 64x64 A^T x b.
