An input !foreach expression such as !foreach(a, lst, !add(a, 1))
would be re-emitted by llvm-tblgen -print-records with the first
argument in quotes, giving !foreach("a", lst, !add(a, 1)), which isn't
valid TableGen input syntax.

Summary:
This changes the syntax of !foreach so that the first "parameter" is
a new syntactic variable: !foreach(x, lst, expr) will define the
variable x within the scope of expr, and evaluation of the !foreach
will substitute elements of the given list (or dag) for x in expr.
Aside from leading to a nicer syntax, this allows more complex
expressions where x is deeply nested, or even constant expressions
in which x does not occur at all.
!foreach is currently not actually used anywhere in trunk, but I
plan to use it in the AMDGPU backend. If out-of-tree targets are
using it, they can adjust to the new syntax very easily.
