arch: Build the operand REs in the isa_parser on demand.
These regular expressions search code snippets to find places where
operands are used. Rather than build them explicitly at the end of
processing the operands{{}} construct, wait until they're first going to
be used. That way, we'll be able to define operands in as many places as
we want, as long as we've done all we're going to do before the first
instructions are defined.
This will pave the way to defining operands in regular python in let
blocks, and then possibly outside of the parser altogether, perhaps into
scons where having lots of output files for individual instructions will
be easier to manage. For now, this just lets you define multiple
operands blocks which is not all that exciting on its own :)
