[CIR][Lowering][MLIR] Rework the !cir.array lowering

Split completely the !cir.array lowering, like in struct/class/union, from any
reference with memref construction.
Rationalize the approach inside convertToReferenceType() instead of ad-hoc cases
all-over the place.
Fix a test which seems to have been wrong from the beginning.
