[mlir][vector] Implement Workaround Lowerings for Masked `fm**imum` Reductions

This patch is part of a larger initiative aimed at fixing floating-point `max` and `min` operations in MLIR: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-fix-floating-point-max-and-min-operations-in-mlir/72671.

Within LLVM, there are no masked reduction counterparts for vector reductions such as `fmaximum` and `fminimum`.
More information can be found here: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64940#issuecomment-1690694156.

To address this issue in MLIR, where we need to generate appropriate lowerings for these cases, we employ regular non-masked intrinsics.
However, we modify the input vector using the `arith.select` operation to effectively deactivate undesired elements using a "neutral mask value".
The neutral mask value is the smallest possible value for the `fmaximum` reduction and the largest possible value for the `fminimum` reduction.

Depends on D158618

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, or #llvm IRC channel on OFTC.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
