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`.

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.

Only two functions that use xop multiply-accumulate instructions where the
first operand is the same as the fourth actually took advantage of the macros.
This further reduces differences with x264's x86inc.

Silences warning(s) like:
libavcodec/x86/fft.asm:93: warning: section flags ignored on
section redeclaration
The cause of this warning is that because `struc` and `endstruc`
attempts to revert to the previous section state [1].
The section state is stored in the macro __SECT__, defined by
x86inc.asm to be `.note.GNU-stack ...`, through the `SECTION`
directive [2].
Thus, the `.note.GNU-stack` section is defined twice
(once in x86inc.asm, once during `endstruc`), causing the warning.
That is the first part of the commit: using the primitive `[section]` format
for .note.GNU-stack etc., which does not update `__SECT__` [2].
That fixes only half of the problem. Even without any `SECTION` directives,
`__SECT__` is predefined as `.text`, which conflicting with the later
`SECTION_TEXT` (which expands to `.text align=16`).
