X86: Assembler support for near labels
The optimizing compiler uses 32 bit relative jumps for all forward
jumps, just in case the offset is too large to fit in one byte. Some of
the generated code knows that the jumps will in fact fit.
Add a 'NearLabel' class to the x86 and x86_64 assemblers. This will be
used to generate known short forward branches.
Add jecxz/jrcxz instructions, which only handle a short offset. They
will be used for intrinsics.
Add tests for the new instructions and NearLabel.
