Sergey Kozub 73d83f20c9 [MLIR] Add f6E2M3FN type (#107999)
This PR adds `f6E2M3FN` type to mlir.

`f6E2M3FN` type is proposed in [OpenCompute MX
Specification](https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-microscaling-formats-mx-v1-0-spec-final-pdf).
It defines a 6-bit floating point number with bit layout S1E2M3. Unlike
IEEE-754 types, there are no infinity or NaN values.

```c
f6E2M3FN
- 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.00.000
- Max normal number: S.11.111 = ±2^(2) x (1 + 0.875) = ±7.5
- Min normal number: S.01.000 = ±2^(0) = ±1.0
- Max subnormal number: S.00.111 = ±2^(0) x 0.875 = ±0.875
- Min subnormal number: S.00.001 = ±2^(0) x 0.125 = ±0.125
