Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [Matrix] Add a row\col major toggle in the clang driver

fixes #167621

- define the new options in `Options.td` limit the naming to row-major or
column-major.
- In `ToolChains/Clang.cpp` limit the opt usage to only when
  `-fenable-matrix` is used.
- make sure we set the flags llvm needs for the lower-matrix-intrinsics
  pass.
