[mlir][IR] Improve error message when parsing incorrect type (#134984)

Improve error messages when parsing an incorrect type.

Before:
```
invalid kind of type specified
```

After:
```
invalid kind of type specified: expected builtin.tensor, but found 'tensor<*xi32>'
```

This error message is produced when a certain operand/result type is
expected according to an op's TableGen definition, but a different type
is parsed. Type constraints (which may have nice error messages) are
checked after parsing a type. If an incorrect type is parsed, we never
get to the point of printing type constraint error messages. This may
discourage users from specifying C++ classes with type constraints.
(Explicitly specifying C++ classes is beneficial because the
auto-generated C++ code will have richer type information; explicit
casts are unnecessary, etc.) See #134981 for an example where specifying
additional type information with type constraints (e.g.,
`LLVM_AnyVector`) lead to worse error messages.

Note: In order to generate a better error message, the parser must
retrieve a type's name from the C++ class. TableGen-generated type
classes always have a `name` field, but hand-written C++ type classes
may not. The `HasStaticName` template was copied from
`DialectImplementation.h` (`HasStaticDialectName`).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.
