[MLIR] Add f8E4M3 IEEE 754 type (#97118)
This PR adds `f8E4M3` type to mlir.
`f8E4M3` type follows IEEE 754 convention
```c
f8E4M3 (IEEE 754)
- Exponent bias: 7
- Maximum stored exponent value: 14 (binary 1110)
- Maximum unbiased exponent value: 14 - 7 = 7
- Minimum stored exponent value: 1 (binary 0001)
- Minimum unbiased exponent value: 1 − 7 = −6
- Precision specifies the total number of bits used for the significand (mantisa),
including implicit leading integer bit = 3 + 1 = 4
- Follows IEEE 754 conventions for representation of special values
- Has Positive and Negative zero
- Has Positive and Negative infinity
- Has NaNs
Additional details:
- Max exp (unbiased): 7
- Min exp (unbiased): -6
- Infinities (+/-): S.1111.000
- Zeros (+/-): S.0000.000
- NaNs: S.1111.{001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111}
- Max normal number: S.1110.111 = +/-2^(7) x (1 + 0.875) = +/-240
- Min normal number: S.0001.000 = +/-2^(-6)
- Max subnormal number: S.0000.111 = +/-2^(-6) x 0.875 = +/-2^(-9) x 7
- Min subnormal number: S.0000.001 = +/-2^(-6) x 0.125 = +/-2^(-9)
