Some debuggers/profilers use this metadata to determine which function a
given instruction is in; without it they get can confused by local labels
(if you haven't stripped those). On the other hand, some tools are still
confused even with this metadata. e.g. this fixes `gdb`, but not `perf`.
Currently only implemented for ELF.

The REP_RET workaround is only needed on old AMD cpus, and the labels clutter
up the symbol table and confuse debugging/profiling tools, so use EQU to
create SHN_ABS symbols instead of creating local labels. Furthermore, skip
the workaround completely in functions that definitely won't run on such cpus.
Note that EQU is just creating a local label when using nasm instead of yasm.
This is probably a bug, but at least it doesn't break anything.

When allocating stack space with a larger alignment than the known stack
alignment a temporary register is used for storing the stack pointer.
Ensure that this isn't one of the registers used for passing arguments.

* Correctly handle FMA instructions with memory operands.
* Print a warning if FMA instructions are used without the correct cpuflag.
* Simplify the instantiation code.
* Clarify documentation.
Only the last operand in FMA3 instructions can be a memory operand. When
converting FMA4 instructions to FMA3 instructions we can utilize the fact
that multiply is a commutative operation and reorder operands if necessary
to ensure that a memory operand is used only as the last operand.

It seems to miscompile them
Should fix fate-ra-288 and fate-twinvq

The .text section is already 16-byte aligned by default on all supported
platforms so `SECTION_TEXT` isn't any different from `SECTION .text`.

Change ALLOC_STACK to always align the stack before allocating stack space for
consistency. Previously alignment would occur either before or after allocating
stack space depending on whether manual alignment was required or not.

Emulation requires a temporary register if arguments 1 and 4 are the same; this
doesn't obey the semantics of the original instruction, so we can't emulate
that in x86inc.
Also add pmacsdql emulation.
