[PATCH 4/5] aarch64: Remove disassembly restriction on OP_MOV_Z_Zi
This patch removes an artificial restriction on disassembling the OP_MOV_Z_Zi opcode in the aarch64 disassembler. The restriction was intended to force a different alias to be used for disassembly when the index value was zero. The patch now uses alias priority to achieve the same result, and removes the unused OP_MOV_Z_Zi enum value.
