Nicolai Haehnle fcd6525a45 TableGen: Add a defset statement
Allows capturing a list of concrete instantiated defs.

This can be combined with foreach to create parallel sets of def
instantiations with less repetition in the source. This purpose is
largely also served by multiclasses, but in some cases multiclasses
can't be used.

The motivating example for this change is having a large set of
intrinsics, which are generated from the IntrinsicsBackend.td file
included by Intrinsics.td, and a corresponding set of instruction
selection patterns, which are generated via the backend's .td files.

Multiclasses cannot be used to eliminate the redundancy in this case,
because a multiclass cannot span both LLVM's common .td files and
the backend .td files at the same time.
