Jakob Stoklund Olesen 8457f67e34 Introduce predicates.
Predcates are boolean functions. There will be ISA predicates and instruction
predicates.

The ISA predicates will be turned into member functions on the generated Flags
structs.

"""
Cretonne predicates.
A *predicate* is a function that computes a boolean result. The inputs to the
function determine the kind of predicate:
- An *ISA predicate* is evaluated on the current ISA settings together with the
shared settings defined in the :py:mod:`settings` module. Once a target ISA
has been configured, the value of all ISA predicates is known.
- An *Instruction predicate* is evaluated on an instruction instance, so it can
inspect all the immediate fields and type variables of the instruction.
Instruction predicates can be evaluatd before register allocation, so they
can not depend on specific register assignments to the value operands or
outputs.
Predicates can also be computed from other predicates using the `And`, `Or`,
and `Not` combinators defined in this module.
All predicates have a *context* which determines where they can be evaluated.
For an ISA predicate, the context is the ISA settings group. For an instruction
predicate, the context is the instruction format.
