[mlir:python] Small optimization to get_op_result_or_results.

[hawkinsp]

• We can call .results without figuring out whether we have an Operation or an OpView, and that's likely the common case anyway.
• If we have one or more results, we can return them directly, with no need for a call to get_op_result_or_value. We're guaranteed that .results returns a PyOpResultList, so we have either an OpResult or sequence of OpResults, just as the API expects.

This saves a few 100ms during IR construction in an LLM JAX benchmark.

Nice, thanks
