We can cast a string to a record via !cast, but we have no mechanism
to check if it is valid and TableGen will raise an error if failed to
cast. Besides, we have no semantic null in TableGen (we have `?` but
different backends handle uninitialized value differently), so operator
like `dyn_cast<>` is hard to implement.
In this patch, we add a new operator `!exists<T>(s)` to check whether
a record with type `T` and name `s` exists. Self-references are allowed
just like `!cast`.
By doing these, we can write code like:
```
class dyn_cast_to_record<string name> {
R value = !if(!exists<R>(name), !cast<R>(name), default_value);
}
defvar v = dyn_cast_to_record<"R0">.value; // R0 or default_value.
```

IR:
- globals (and functions, ifuncs, aliases) can have a partition
- catchret has a `to` before the label
- the sint/int types do not exist
- signext comes after the type
- a variable was missing its type
TableGen:
- The second value after a `#` concatenation is optional
See e.g. llvm/lib/Target/X86/X86InstrAVX512.td:L3351
- IncludeDirective and PreprocessorDirective were never referenced in
the grammar
- Add some missing ;
- Parent classes of multiclasses can have generic arguments.
Reuse the `ParentClassList` that is already used in other places.
MIR:
- liveins only allows physical registers, which start with a $

This requires changes to TableGen files and some C++ files due to
incompatible multiclass template arguments that slipped through
before the improved handling.
Rework template argument checking so that all arguments are type-checked
and cast if necessary.
Add a test.

This first step adds the assert statement and supports it at top level
and in record definitions. Later steps will support it in class
definitions and multiclasses.
