LOG: [MC][DecoderEmitter] Fix build warning: explicit specialization cannot have a storage class (#156375)

Move `InsnBitWidth` template into anonymous namespace in the generated
code and move template specialization of `InsnBitWidth` to anonymous
namespace as well, and drop `static` for them. This makes `InsnBitWidth`
completely private to each target and fixes the "explicit specialization
cannot have a storage class" warning as well as any potential linker
errors if `InsnBitWidth` is kept in the `llvm::MCD` namespace.

Added: 
    

Modified: 
    llvm/include/llvm/MC/MCDecoder.h
    llvm/lib/Target/AMDGPU/Disassembler/AMDGPUDisassembler.cpp
    llvm/lib/Target/RISCV/Disassembler/RISCVDisassembler.cpp
    llvm/utils/TableGen/DecoderEmitter.cpp

Removed:
