[regtool] Extension for parsing alias registers

This adds a regtool option for parsing in alias register definitions -
a regtool enhancement that makes it possible to define generic
register descriptions on the opensource side and override these
descriptions with non-public information on the closed source side.

Alias registers are defined similarly to regular registers, but specify
additional keys to establish a correspondence between generic and alias
register definitions. Only a subset of register attributes such as the
name, description and reset values can be overridden. The validation
step ensures that all other non-aliasable attributes and the overall
register structure remains identical.

Once validated, the alias register definitions replace the generic
definitions, and the RTL, DV and SW backends may then use the
augmented register block objects to produce additional types, classes
and RTL modules to support alias definitions in closed source
environments.
