[TableGen] Correct Namespace lookup with AltNames in AsmWriterEmitter
AsmWriterEmitter will generate a getRegisterName function with an alternate
register name index as its second argument if the target makes use of them. The
enum of these values is generated in RegisterInfoEmitter. The getRegisterName
generator would assume the namespace could always be found by reading index 1
of the list of AltNameIndices, but this will fail if this list is sorted such
that the NoRegAltName is at index 1. Because this list is sorted by record name
(in CodeGenTarget::ReadRegAltNameIndices), you only run in to problems if your
MyTargetRegisterInfo.td defines a single RegAltNameIndex that sorts lexically
before NoRegAltName.
For example, if a target has something like
def AnAltNameIndex : RegAltNameIndex
and defines RegAltNameIndices for some registers then, prior to this change,
AsmWriterEmitter would generate references to
::AnAltNameIndex and ::NoRegAltName
