[AArch64] Add isAuthenticating predicate to MCInstDesc

[vsk]

Summary

Add a predicate to MCInstDesc that allows tools to determine whether an
instruction authenticates a pointer. This can be used by diagnostic
tools to hint at pointer authentication failures.

IIUC, I think "isAuthenticating" would be a more accurate description/name than "isAuthenticated".
In that the instruction on which this property is set does authenticate a pointer, rather than the instruction itself having been authenticated (whatever that may mean) before.
Does that seem fair?

[vsk]

Rename isAuthenticated -> isAuthenticating, for clarity.

[vsk]

Gentle ping.

This looks like it covers the right set of instructions, but I don't really know enough about backends to review, sorry.

[vsk]

Ping.

Hi! Does this cover pre v8.3 pointer authenticating instructions (AUTIASP/AUTIBSP) too?

[vsk]

Cover pre-8.3 auti*sp instructions.

Seems reasonable. This is an interesting use of MCID flags, in that llvm itself doesn't need it, but I'm all for better disassembler support!

IIUC, I think "isAuthenticating" would be a more accurate description/name than "isAuthenticated".

FWIW, I actually find "isAuthenticated" more idiomatic, but I'm not enough of a native speaker to justify it ;)

Hi! Does this cover pre v8.3 pointer authenticating instructions (AUTIASP/AUTIBSP) too?

I don't think it makes sense to include AUT* on v8.3a, but it does on v8.6a, and shouldn't hurt elsewhere, so I'm fine with having them.

nit: one too many spaces between ';' and '//'

I suggest wrapping the AUT defs with let isAuthenticating = 1, this doesn't need a class.
