LOG: [mlir][Transforms][NFC] Dialect conversion: Reland docs improvement (#97886)

#96207 was reverted but the improvements to the documentation of the
dialect conversion are still useful.

     -   An argument materialization is used when converting the type of a block
         argument during a [signature conversion](#region-signature-conversion).
+        The new block argument types are specified in a `SignatureConversion`
+        object. An original block argument can be converted into multiple
+        block arguments, which is not supported everywhere in the dialect
+        conversion. (E.g., adaptors support only a single replacement value for
+        each original value.) Therefore, an argument materialization is used to
+        convert potentially multiple new block arguments back into a single SSA
