Subject: [PATCH] [mlir][tensor] Preserve source encoding when folding
 insert_slice canonicalizers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`InsertSliceOpConstantArgumentFolder` re-derives the refined source type via
`ExtractSliceOp::inferCanonicalRankReducedResultType`, which copies the encoding
of the passed-in "source template" — in this pattern, `insertSliceOp.getDestType()`.
For a static, encoding-less destination this silently drops any encoding the actual source carried,
which downstream dialects can use for mandatory metadata (upper bounds, layout, sparsity descriptors) lost during `--canonicalize`.

Rebuild the refined source type carrying the original source's encoding.
If the encoding implements `VerifiableTensorEncoding`, re-verify it against the refined
shape and drop it if it no longer holds (e.g. a rank-dependent sparse encoding);
otherwise treat it as opaque/shape-agnostic and propagate it unconditionally.
Shape refinement (the `?` -> static direction) is unchanged and still satisfies `preservesStaticInformation`.
