[mlir][IR] Improve error message when parsing incorrect type (llvm#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 llvm#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`).
