[mlir][Transforms] Dialect conversion: Extra checks during replaceOp

This commit adds extra checks/assertions to the `ConversionPatternRewriterImpl::notifyOpReplaced` to improve its robustness.

Replacing an `unrealized_conversion_cast` op that was created by the driver is forbidden and is now caught early during `replaceOp`. It may work in some cases, but is generally dangerous because the conversion driver keeps track of these ops. (Erasing is them is fine.) This change is also in preparation of a subsequent commit that splits the `ConversionValueMapping` into replacements and materializations (with the goal of simplifying block signature conversions).

`null` replacement values are no longer registered in the `ConversionValueMapping`. This was an oversight in #106760. `null` values in the mapping could result in crashes when using the `ConversionValueMapping` API.
