Simon Tatham ddbc0b1e51 [TableGen] Introduce an if/then/else statement.
Summary:
This allows you to make some of the defs in a multiclass or `foreach`
conditional on an expression computed from the parameters or iteration
variables.

It was already possible to simulate an if statement using a `foreach`
with a dummy iteration variable and a list constructed using `!if` so
that it had length 0 or 1 depending on the condition, e.g.

  foreach unusedIterationVar = !if(condition, [1], []<int>) in { ... }

But this syntax is nicer to read, and also more convenient because it
allows an else clause.

To avoid upheaval in the implementation, I've implemented `if` as pure
syntactic sugar on the `foreach` implementation: internally, `ParseIf`
actually does construct exactly the kind of foreach shown above (and
another reversed one for the else clause if present).
