In future we might want to be explicit about which enums are unsigned feature
enums, and which are "just" enums without any ordering of values or sign (e.g.
CTR_EL0.L1Ip). i.e. we might want to explciitly add an `UnsignedEnum`, and have
plain `Enum` not define a <reg>_<field>_SIGN definition.

Minor nit: since <reg>_<field>_SIGN is a boolean, it'd make more sense for that
to be named <reg>_<field>_SIGNED.

Regardless, this makes sense to me, so even for this as-is:
