This introduces a number of new classifications which will make it
easier to generate functions to assemble the new instructions of
ISA 3.1, and potentially earlier versions.
No code generation changes should occur as a result of these. These
allow finer control over how an opcode is matched to an optab entry.
Literal values are now classified based on the smallest number of bits
needed to encode, and matching rules will accept a literal if it
can be zero/sign extended to fit a larger literal class.
Likewise, support classifying even register numbers for GPR, VSX, and
FPR instructions. Some instructions require and even/odd register pair,
and these are usually represented by specifying the even register, and
similarly encoded.
Likewise, add a unit test for the argument classifier function (aclass).
This caught an off-by-one bug in aclass which is also fixed.
