Hal Finkel 79c15b23c9 [TableGen] Optionally forbid overlap between named and positional operands
There are currently two schemes for mapping instruction operands to
instruction-format variables for generating the instruction encoders and
decoders for the assembler and disassembler respectively: a) to map by name and
b) to map by position.

In the long run, we'd like to remove the position-based scheme and use only
name-based mapping. Unfortunately, the name-based scheme currently cannot deal
with complex operands (those with suboperands), and so we currently must use
the position-based scheme for those. On the other hand, the position-based
scheme cannot deal with (register) variables that are split into multiple
ranges. An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend (adding VSX support) will
require this capability. While we could teach the position-based scheme to
handle that, since we'd like to move away from the position-based mapping
generally, it seems silly to teach it new tricks now. What makes more sense is
to allow for partial transitioning: use the name-based mapping when possible,
and only use the position-based scheme when necessary.

Now the problem is that mixing the two sensibly was not possible: the
position-based mapping would map based on position, but would not skip those
variables that were mapped by name. Instead, the two sets of assignments would
overlap. However, I cannot currently change the current behavior, because there
are some backends that rely on it [I think mistakenly, but I'll send a message
to llvmdev about that]. So I've added a new TableGen bit variable:
noNamedPositionallyEncodedOperands, that can be used to cause the
position-based mapping to skip variables mapped by name.
