[mlir][linalg] Remove the test-linalg-to-vector-patterns option

[banach-space]

This patch removes the test-linalg-to-vector-patterns option from the
-test-linalg-transform-patterns= test flag. It was only used in one
test, where a more specialized transform dialect op can be used instead:

• transform.apply_patterns.linalg.pad_vectorization

While we could preserve test-linalg-to-vector-patterns, it's better to
rely on finer-grained transformations — this way, we know exactly what
is being run and tested. Now that its only use has been removed, it
feels natural to delete test-linalg-to-vector-patterns.
