Description

### Clear and concise description of the problem

In swagger, we support char format [here](https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/blob/e606243e5297312781dd7dbfd7ab76d2329cc088/specification/search/data-plane/Azure.Search/preview/2019-05-06-preview/searchservice.json#L3138-L3143).

How are we going to represent `char` in TypeSpec

- first-class type char
- scalar
- string with maximum length
