This was added to enable the other test, where the alias is a vector register (that needs custom parsing), e.g.:

peter .req z6
add peter.s, z0.s, z0.s

However, in that case it seems wrong for 'matchRegisterNameAlias(..., RegKind::Scalar) to return the register number of an SVE vector. This is caused by MatchRegisterName() being generic to work for non-scalar registers as well, so I'll fix this.
