[mlir][vector] Avoid setting padding by default to `0` in `vector.transfer_read` prefer `ub.poison` (#146088)

Context:
`vector.transfer_read` always requires a padding value. Most of its
builders take no `padding` value and assume the safe value of `0`.
However, this should be a conscious choice by the API user, as it makes
it easy to introduce bugs.
For example, I found several occasions while making this patch that the
padding value was not getting propagated (`vector.transfer_read` was
transformed into another `vector.transfer_read`). These bugs, were
always caused because of constructors that don't require specifying
padding.

Additionally, using `ub.poison` as a possible default value is better,
as it indicates the user "doesn't care" about the actual padding value,
forcing users to specify the actual padding semantics they want.

With that in mind, this patch changes the builders in
`vector.transfer_read` to always having a `std::optional<Value> padding`
argument. This argument is never optional, but for convenience users can
pass `std::nullopt`, padding the transfer read with `ub.poison`.

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.
