When operating on large blocks of data it's common to repeatedly use
an instruction on multiple registers. Using the REPX macro makes it
easy to quickly write dense code to achieve this without having to
explicitly duplicate the same instruction over and over.
For example,
REPX {paddw x, m4}, m0, m1, m2, m3
REPX {mova [r0+16*x], m5}, 0, 1, 2, 3
will expand to
paddw m0, m4
paddw m1, m4
paddw m2, m4
paddw m3, m4
mova [r0+16*0], m5
mova [r0+16*1], m5
mova [r0+16*2], m5
mova [r0+16*3], m5

Some new warnings regarding use of empty macro parameters has
been added, so adjust some x86inc code to silence those.

There are 32 pseudo-instructions for each floating-point comparison
instruction, but only 8 of them are actually valid in legacy-encoded mode.
The remaining 24 requires the use of VEX-encoded (v-prefixed) instructions
and can therefore be disregarded for this purpose.
AVX-512 consists of a plethora of different extensions, but in order to keep
things a bit more manageable we group together the following extensions
under a single baseline cpu flag which should cover SKL-X and future CPUs:
* AVX-512 Foundation (F)
* AVX-512 Conflict Detection Instructions (CD)
* AVX-512 Byte and Word Instructions (BW)
* AVX-512 Doubleword and Quadword Instructions (DQ)
* AVX-512 Vector Length Extensions (VL)
On x86-64 AVX-512 provides 16 additional vector registers, prefer using
those over existing ones since it allows us to avoid using `vzeroupper`
unless more than 16 vector registers are required. They also happen to
be volatile on Windows which means that we don't need to save and restore
existing xmm register contents unless more than 22 vector registers are
required.
Big thanks to Intel for their support.

Due to a peculiarity in the ModR/M addressing encoding, the r12 and r13
registers sometimes requires an additional byte when used as a base register.
r14 and r15 doesn't have that issue, so prefer using them.
We overload the `call` instruction with a macro, but it would misbehave when
the macro argument wasn't a valid identifier. Fix it by explicitly checking
if the argument is an identifier.
When allocating stack space with an alignment requirement that is larger
than the current stack alignment we need to store a copy of the original
stack pointer in order to be able to restore it later.
If we chose to use another register for this purpose we should not pick
eax/rax since it can be overwritten as a return value.

Allows emulation to work when dst is equal to src2 as long as the
instruction is commutative, e.g. `addps m0, m1, m0`.

The yasm/nasm preprocessor only checks the first token, which means that
parameters such as `dword [rax]` are treated as identifiers, which is
generally not what we want.

Those instructions are not commutative since they only change the first
element in the vector and leave the rest unmodified.

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.

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