PR #19096: Add F4E2M1FN and F8E8M0FNU types
Imported from GitHub PR openxla/xla#19096
This PR adds F4E2M1FN primitive type (4-bit float with 2 bits exponent and 1 bit mantissa), F8E8M0FNU primitive type (8-bit float with 8 bits exponent, no mantissa and no sign) and enables loads/stores in the same way S4/U4 type is implemented.
This will enable using microscaling (MX) formats (RFC), such as MXFP4.
