    md: Allow <FOO> to refer to the value of int iterator FOO
    
    In a follow-up patch, I wanted to use an int iterator to iterate
    over various possible values of a const_int.  But one problem
    with int iterators was that there was no way of referring to the
    current value of the iterator.  This is unlike modes and codes,
    which provide automatic "mode", "MODE", "code" and "CODE"
    attribbutes.  These automatic definitions are the equivalent
    of an explicit:
    
      (define_mode_attr mode [(QI "qi") (HI "hi") ...])
    
    We obviously can't do that for every possible value of an int.
    
    One option would have been to go for some kind of lazily-populated
    attribute.  But that sounds quite complicated.  This patch instead
    goes for the simpler approach of allowing <FOO> to refer to the
    current value of FOO.
    
    In principle it would be possible to allow the same thing
    for mode and code iterators.  But for modes there are at least
    4 realistic possiblities:
    
      - the E_* enumeration value (which is what this patch would give)
      - the user-facing C token, like DImode, SFmode, etc.
      - the equivalent of <MODE>
      - the equivalent of <mode>
    
    Because of this ambiguity, it seemed better to stick to the
    current approach for modes.  For codes it's less clear-cut,
    but <CODE> and <code> are both realistic possibilities, so again
    it seemed better to be explicit.
    
    The patch also removes “Each @var{int} must have the same rtx format.
    @xref{RTL Classes}.”, which was erroneously copied from the code
    iterator section.
    
    gcc/
            * doc/md.texi: Document that <FOO> can be used to refer to the
            numerical value of an int iterator FOO.  Tweak other parts of
            the int iterator documentation.
            * read-rtl.cc (iterator_group::has_self_attr): New field.
            (map_attr_string): When has_self_attr is true, make <FOO>
            expand to the current value of iterator FOO.
            (initialize_iterators): Set has_self_attr for int iterators.
