[CHERIoT] Add constraint logic for legal capability operand generation: for any instruction requiring a valid capability source, constrain the chosen register to one the tracker marks as tagged, in-bounds, and with the required permission bits set.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the CHERIoT legal capability operand generation logic and the register tracker it consults; then determine where constraints are applied. Done means every instruction requiring a valid capability source selects only a tagged, in-bounds register with the required permission bits.
