This change makes the scatter/gather syntax more consistent with
the syntax of all the other memory operations in the Vector dialect
(order of types, use of [] for index, etc.). This will make the MLIR
code easier to read. In addition, the pass_thru parameter of the
gather has been made mandatory (there is very little benefit in
using the implicit "undefined" values).

Adding the ability to index the base address brings these operations closer
to the transfer read and write semantics (with lowering advantages), ensures
more consistent use in vector MLIR code (easier to read), and reduces the
amount of code duplication to lower memrefs into base addresses considerably
(making codegen less error-prone).

Masked loading/storing in various forms can be optimized
into simpler memory operations when the mask is all true
or all false. Note that the backend does similar optimizations
but doing this early may expose more opportunities for further
optimizations. This further prepares progressively lowering
transfer read and write into 1-D memory operations.
