This patch introduces tablegen class MCStatement.
Currently, an MCStatement can be either a return statement, or a switch
statement.
```
MCStatement:
MCReturnStatement
MCOpcodeSwitchStatement
```
A MCReturnStatement expands to a return statement, and the boolean expression
associated with the return statement is described by a MCInstPredicate.
An MCOpcodeSwitchStatement is a switch statement where the condition is a check
on the machine opcode. It allows the definition of multiple checks, as well as a
default case. More details on the grammar implemented by these two new
constructs can be found in the diff for TargetInstrPredicates.td.
This patch makes it easier to read the body of auto-generated TargetInstrInfo
predicates.
In future, I plan to reuse/extend the MCStatement grammar to describe more
complex target hooks. For now, this is just a first step (mostly a minor
cosmetic change to polish the new predicates framework).

Function `expandCheckImmOperand` should always check if the input machine
instruction is passed by reference before calling method `getOperand()` on it.
Found while working on a patch that relies on `expandCheckImmOperand` to expand
a scheduling predicate.

This patch is the first of a sequence of three patches described by the LLVM-dev
RFC "MC support for variant scheduling classes".
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123181.html
The goal of this patch is to introduce a new class of scheduling predicates for
SchedReadVariant and SchedWriteVariant.
An MCSchedPredicate can be used instead of a normal SchedPredicate to model
checks on the instruction (either a MachineInstr or a MCInst).
Internally, an MCSchedPredicate encapsulates an MCInstPredicate definition.
MCInstPredicate allows the definition of expressions with a well-known semantic,
that can be used to generate code for both MachineInstr and MCInst.
This is the first step toward teaching to tools like lllvm-mca how to resolve
variant scheduling classes.
