docs: Document decodetree named field syntax

Document the named field syntax that we want to implement for the
decodetree script.  This allows a field to be defined in terms of
some other field that the instruction pattern has already set, for
example:

   %sz_imm 10:3 sz:3 !function=expand_sz_imm

to allow a function to be passed both an immediate field from the
instruction and also a sz value which might have been specified by
the instruction pattern directly (sz=1, etc) rather than being a
simple field within the instruction.

Note that the restriction on not having the format referring to the
pattern and the pattern referring to the format simultaneously is a
restriction of the decoder generator rather than inherently being a
silly thing to do.
