aarch64: Improve errors for malformed register lists

parse_typed_reg is used for parsing both bare registers and
registers that occur in lists.  If it doesn't see a register,
or sees an unexpected kind of register, it queues a default
error to report the problem.  These default errors have the form
"operand N must be an X", where X comes from the operand table.

If there are multiple opcode entries that report default errors,
GAS tries to pick the most appropriate one, using the opcode
table order as a tiebreaker.  But this can lead to cases where
a syntax error in a register list is reported against an opcode
that doesn't accept register lists.  For example, the unlikely
error:

  ext z0.b,{,},#0

is reported as:

  operand 2 must be an SVE vector register -- `ext z0.b,{,},#0'

even though operand 2 can be a register list.

If we've parsed the opening '{' of a register list, and then see
something that isn't remotely register-like, it seems better to
report that directly as a syntax error, rather than rely on the
default error.  The operand won't be a valid list of anything,
so there's no need to pick a specific Y in "operand N must be
a list of Y".
