Also, fix a small typo where the "unsigned" splat variants were not
being created with an unsigned type.

This CL introduces a generic attribute (called "encoding") on tensors.
The attribute currently does not carry any concrete information, but the type
system already correctly determines that tensor<8xi1,123> != tensor<8xi1,321>.
The attribute will be given meaning through an interface in subsequent CLs.
See ongoing discussion on discourse:
[RFC] Introduce a sparse tensor type to core MLIR
https://llvm.discourse.group/t/rfc-introduce-a-sparse-tensor-type-to-core-mlir/2944
A sparse tensor will look something like this:
```
// named alias with all properties we hold dear:
#CSR = {
// individual named attributes
}
// actual sparse tensor type:
tensor<?x?xf64, #CSR>
```
I see the following rough 5 step plan going forward:
(1) introduce this format attribute in this CL, currently still empty
(2) introduce attribute interface that gives it "meaning", focused on sparse in first phase
(3) rewrite sparse compiler to use new type, remove linalg interface and "glue"
(4) teach passes to deal with new attribute, by rejecting/asserting on non-empty attribute as simplest solution, or doing meaningful rewrite in the longer run
(5) add FE support, document, test, publicize new features, extend "format" meaning to other domains if useful

`verifyConstructionInvariants` is intended to allow for verifying the invariants of an attribute/type on construction, and `getChecked` is intended to enable more graceful error handling aside from an assert. There are a few problems with the current implementation of these methods:
* `verifyConstructionInvariants` requires an mlir::Location for emitting errors, which is prohibitively costly in the situations that would most likely use them, e.g. the parser.
This creates an unfortunate code duplication between the verifier code and the parser code, given that the parser operates on llvm::SMLoc and it is an undesirable overhead to pre-emptively convert from that to an mlir::Location.
* `getChecked` effectively requires duplicating the definition of the `get` method, creating a quite clunky workflow due to the subtle different in its signature.
This revision aims to talk the above problems by refactoring the implementation to use a callback for error emission. Using a callback allows for deferring the costly part of error emission until it is actually necessary.
Due to the necessary signature change in each instance of these methods, this revision also takes this opportunity to cleanup the definition of these methods by:
* restructuring the signature of `getChecked` such that it can be generated from the same code block as the `get` method.
* renaming `verifyConstructionInvariants` to `verify` to match the naming scheme of the rest of the compiler.
