AArch64: Mark sve instructions that require MOVPRFX constraints
This patch series is to allow certain instructions such as the SVE MOVPRFX instruction to apply a constraint/dependency on the instruction at PC+4. This patch starts this off by marking which instructions impose the constraint and which instructions must adhere to the constraint. This is done in a generic way by extending the verifiers. * The constraint F_SCAN indicates that an instruction opens a sequence and imposes a constraint on an instructions following it. The length of the sequence depends on the instruction itself and it handled in the verifier code. * The C_SCAN_MOVPRFX flag is used to indicate which constrain the instruction is checked against. An instruction with both F_SCAN and C_SCAN_MOVPRFX starts a block for the C_SCAN_MOVPRFX instruction, and one with only C_SCAN_MOVPRFX must adhere to a previous block constraint is applicable. The SVE instructions in this list have been marked according to the SVE specification[1].
