Summary:
Instantiating def's and defm's needs to perform the following steps:
- for defm's, clone multiclass def prototypes and subsitute template args
- for def's and defm's, add subclass definitions, substituting template
args
- clone the record based on foreach loops and substitute loop iteration
variables
- override record variables based on the global 'let' stack
- resolve the record name (this should be simple, but unfortunately it's
not due to existing .td files relying on rather silly implementation
details)
- for def(m)s in multiclasses, add the unresolved record as a multiclass
prototype
- for top-level def(m)s, resolve all internal variable references and add
them to the record keeper and any active defsets
This change streamlines how we go through these steps, by having both
def's and defm's feed into a single addDef() method that handles foreach,
final resolve, and routing the record to the right place.
This happens to make foreach inside of multiclasses work, as the new
test case demonstrates. Previously, foreach inside multiclasses was not
forbidden by the parser, but it was de facto broken.
Another side effect is that the order of "instantiated from" notes in error
messages is reversed, as the modified test case shows. This is arguably
clearer, since the initial error message ends up pointing directly to
whatever triggered the error, and subsequent notes will point to increasingly
outer layers of multiclasses. This is consistent with how C++ compilers
report nested #includes and nested template instantiations.

Summary:
The docs already claim that this happens, but so far it hasn't. As a
consequence, existing TableGen files get this wrong a lot, but luckily
the fixes are all reasonably straightforward.
To make this work with all the existing forms of self-references (since
the true type of a record is only built up over time), the lookup of
self-references in !cast is delayed until the final resolving step.

Summary:
These are cases of self-references that exist today in practice. Let's
add tests for them to avoid regressions.
The self-references in PPCInstrInfo.td can be expressed in a simpler
way. Allowing this type of self-reference while at the same time
consistently doing late-resolve even for self-references is problematic
because there are references to fields that aren't in any class. Since
there's no need for this type of self-reference anyway, let's just
remove it.
