We always supported a mixture of the old itinerary model and new
per-operand model, but it required a level of indirection to map
itinerary classes to SchedRW lists. This was done for ARM A9.
Now we want to define x86 SchedRW lists, with the goal of removing its
itinerary classes, but still support the itineraries in the mean
time. When I original developed the model, Atom did not have
itineraries, so there was no reason to expect this requirement.

This allows the processor-specific machine model to override selected
base opcodes without any fanciness.
e.g. InstRW<[CoreXWriteVANDP], (instregex "VANDP")>.

A processor can now arbitrarily alias one SchedWrite onto
another. Only the SchedAlias definition need be within the processor
model. The aliased SchedWrite may be a SchedVariant, WriteSequence, or
transitively refer to another alias.

subtarget CPU descriptions and support new features of
MachineScheduler.
MachineModel has three categories of data:
1) Basic properties for coarse grained instruction cost model.
2) Scheduler Read/Write resources for simple per-opcode and operand cost model (TBD).
3) Instruction itineraties for detailed per-cycle reservation tables.
These will all live side-by-side. Any subtarget can use any
combination of them. Instruction itineraries will not change in the
near term. In the long run, I expect them to only be relevant for
in-order VLIW machines that have complex contraints and require a
precise scheduling/bundling model. Once itineraries are only actively
used by VLIW-ish targets, they could be replaced by something more
appropriate for those targets.
This tablegen backend rewrite sets things up for introducing
MachineModel type #2: per opcode/operand cost model.
