The SIMD UDOT instruction assembly has an unusual operand that selects a single
32 bit element with the mnemonic 4B.
This unusual mnemonic is handled by a special operand qualifier and associated
qualifier data in `aarch64_opnd_qualifiers`.
The current qualifier data describes 4 1-byte elements with the structure
{1, 4, 0x0, "4b", OQK_OPD_VARIANT}
This makes sense, as the instruction does work on 4 1-byte elements, however
some logic in the `operand_general_constraint_met_p` makes assumptions about
the range of index allowed when selecting a SIMD_ELEMENT depending on element
size.
That function reasons that e.g. in order to select a byte-sized element in a 16
byte V register an index must allow selection of one of the 16 elements and
hence its range will be in [0,15].
This reasoning breaks with the above description of a 4 part selection of 1
byte elements and allows an index outside the valid [0,3] range, triggering an
assert later on in the program in `aarch64_ins_reglane`.

Please report this bug.
This patch changes the operand qualifier data so that it describes a single
32 bit element.
{4, 1, 0x0, "4b", OQK_OPD_VARIANT}
Hence the calculation in `operand_general_constraint_met_p` provides the
correct answer and the usual error checking machinery is used.
