LOG: [mlir][vector] Add documentation note on adding new ops (#144308)

This adds a note requesting that additions of new ops to the Vector
dialect go through an RFC process. The goal is to clarify expectations
for contributors.

Note: this documents an existing (though previously unwritten)
convention. See, e.g.:
* https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-vector-to-elements-op-to-the-vector-dialect
* https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-improving-gather-codegen-for-vector-dialect
