aarch64: Add support for xzr register in register pair operands
Analysis of the allowed operand values for `sysp' and `tlbip' reveals a significant departure from the allowed behavior for operand register pairs (hitherto labeled AARCH64_OPND_PAIRREG) observed for other insns in this category. For instructions `casp', `mrrs' and `msrr' the register pair must always start at an even index and the second register in the pair is the index + 1. This precludes the use of xzr as the first register, given it corresponds to register number 31. This is different in the case of `sysp' and `tlbip', however. These allow the use of xzr and, where the first operand in the pair is omitted, this is the default value assigned to it. When this operand is assigned xzr, it is expected that the second operand will likewise take on a value of xzr. These two instructions therefore "break" two rules of register pairs: * The first of the two registers is odd-numbered. * The index of the second register is equal to that of the first, and not n+1. To allow for this departure from hitherto standard behavior, we extend the functionality of the assembler by defining an extension of the AARCH64_OPND_PAIRREG, called AARCH64_OPND_PAIRREG_OR_XZR. It is used in defining `sysp' and `tlbip' and allows `operand_general_constraint_met_p' to allow the pair to both take on the value of xzr.
