LOG: [mlir][Interfaces] Use `areTypesCompatible` instead of `mayForwardTypeToSuccessor` (#216471)

This is a follow-up for #215036. The new `mayForwardTypeToSuccessor`
interface method is not needed. The existing `areTypesCompatible`
interface method can be used. If a type is not supported by a branch op,
`areTypesCompatible(x, x)` can return "false".
