1de99829b6 Teach TableGen to evaluate DAG expressions as set operations.
A TableGen backend can define how certain classes can be expanded into
ordered sets of defs, typically by evaluating a specific field in the
record. The SetTheory class can then evaluate DAG expressions that refer
to these named sets.

A number of standard set and list operations are predefined, and the
backend can add more specialized operators if needed. The -print-sets
backend is used by SetTheory.td to provide examples.

This is intended to simplify how register classes are defined:

  def GR32_NOSP : RegisterClass<"X86", [i32], 32, (sub GR32, ESP)>;
