[PATCH] aarch64: Reject no-Xt SYS aliases when Rt != 31 in disassembly

From: Muhammad Kamran <Muhammad.Kamran@arm.com>

For SYS-encoding aliases that do not take Xt (for example TLBI ALLE1,
PLBI ALLE1), disassembly should not print the alias form when Rt != 31.
In that case, disassemble as the generic sys form instead.

Add a focused gas test that checks:
- Rt=31 still disassembles to aliases for no-Xt forms.
- Rt!=31 disassembles to sys ... , xN for those no-Xt forms.
- A valid Xt alias (TLBI VALE1) continues to disassemble as the alias.

opcodes/ChangeLog:

	* aarch64-dis.c (aarch64_ext_regrt_sysins): Mark present as
	whether Rt is non-default or the SYS op accepts Xt, so aliases
	that do not take Xt are rejected when Rt != 31.

gas/ChangeLog:

	* testsuite/gas/aarch64/sys-rt-alias.s: New test source for SYS
	alias disassembly with Rt=31 vs Rt!=31, plus a valid Xt-alias
	control case.
	* testsuite/gas/aarch64/sys-rt-alias.d: New expected disassembly.
