include: opcodes: aarch64: define new subclasses

[New in V4]

The existing iclass information tells us the general shape and purpose
of the instructions.  In some cases, however, we need to further disect
the iclass on the basis of other finer-grain information.  E.g., for the
purpose of SCFI, we need to know whether a given insn with iclass of
ldst_* is a load or a store.  Similarly, whether a particular arithmetic
insn is an add or sub or mov, etc.

This patch defines new flags to demarcate the insns.  Also provide an
access function for subclass lookup.

Later, we will enforce (in aarch64-gen.c) that if an iclass has at least
one instruction with a non-zero subclass, all instructions of the iclass
must have a non-zero subclass information.  If none of the defined
subclasses are applicable (or not required for SCFI purposes),
F_SUBCLASS_OTHER can be used for such instructions.
