These instruction formats take immediate lane index operands. We store these as
u8 fields and require them to be in decimal format in the source. No hexadecimal
lane indexes are supported.

Instructions that don't produce any result values are marked with first_type() =
VOID. The inst_results() iterator should not return any values for such
instructions.

The 'cton-util cat' command parses the given files and writes them out again to
stdout. This has the effect of reformatting and stripping comments.
Fix a writer bug that inverted the blank line before the first EBB.

Add an external dependency to the docopt package and use it for a scaffold
command line interface for the cton-util command.
I am not too happy about taking external dependencies, and docopt pulls in 13
other packages. However, I really don't want to be writing command line parsers,
and as long as the external dependencies are confined to the tools crate, we
should be fine.
The core cretonne crate should stay free of external dependencies to avoid
trouble with embedding it.
Implement a basic 'cat' subcommand which currently behaves like unix 'cat'. It
will gain parser powers soon.

Replace the make_multi_inst() function with a make_inst_results() which uses
the constraint system to create the result values. A typevar argument ensures
that this function does not infer anything from the instruction data arguments.
These arguments may not be valid during parsing.
Implement basic type inference in the parser. If the designated value operand
on a polymorphic instruction refers to a known value, use that to infer the
controlling type variable.
This simple method of type inference requires the operand value to be defined
above the use in the text. Since reordering the EBBs could place a dominating
EBB below the current one, this is a bit fragile. One possibility would be to
require the value is defined in the same EBB. In all other cases, the
controlling typevar should be explicit.

During parsing, it is possible to see instruction operands that reference
values or EBBs that have not been created yet. These references have to be
resolved by a second pass following parsing once all EBBs and values have been
created.
To prepare for this second pass, start creating Ebb and Value references that
use the numbering from the source file rather than the in-memory real
references. Maintain Value -> Value and Ebb -> Ebb mappings. This makes it
possible to store source-numbered Ebb and Value references in instructions.
All other entities are created in the preamble, so they should have been created
before they are referenced.

Add an Opcode::constraints() method which returns an OpcodeConstraints object.
This object provides information on instruction polymorphism and how many
results is produced.
Generate a list of TypeSet objects for checking free type variables. The type
sets are parametrized rather than being represented as fully general sets.
Add UniqueTable and UniqueSeqTable classes to the meta code generator. Use for
compressing tabular data by removing duplicates.

Add a typevar_operand argument to the InstructionFormat constructor which
determines the operand used for inferring the controlling type variable.
Identify polymorphic instructions when they are created, determine if the
controlling type variable can be inferred from the typevar_operand, and verify
the use of type variables in the other operands.
Generate type variable summary in the documentation, including how the
controlling type variable is inferred.

This will eventualy be used for add-with-carry and add-with-overflow type
instructions. For now it only serves as a representative of instruction formats
that have multiple_results=True and boxed_storage=False at the same time.

Accessors for shared fields and multiple results can be generated automatically.
Add a 'boxed_storage' flag to the instruction format definitions to enable
generated code to access 'data'.
