detect whether cpu has fast jrcxz, fast loop/loope/loopne
much more thorough LoadConstantXMM
New cvar elide_e0_check that allows the backend to assume accesses via
the SP or TLS register will not cross into 0xe0 range
Add x64 codegen for Vector shift uint8
If has fast jrcxz use for some traptrue/breaktrue instructions
Use phat nops
Add cvar use_fast_dot_product, which uses a four instruction sequence
for both dot product instructions which ought to be equivalent. disabled

`pxor` is a zero-uop register-rename and `gf2p8affineqb dest, zero, int8`
is a very quick single-instruction way to use affine galois
transformations to fill a register with an immediate byte without
touching memory.
`vprolvd` is an almost 1:1 analog with this opcode and can be
conditionally emitted when the host supports AVX512{F,VL}.
Altivec docs say that `vrl{bhw}` masks the lower log2(n) bits of the
element-size.
[vprold](https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/vprold:vprolvd:vprolq:vprolvq)
modulos the shift-value by the element size in bits, which is the same
as masking the lower log2(n) bits. So `vrlw` maps exactly to `vprold`.
[AltiVec](https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/ALTIVECPEM.pdf)
doc says that it just uses the lower `log2(n)` bits of the shift-amount
rather than the whole element-sized value. So there is no need to handle
an overflow. Also adjusts 64-bit literals to utilize the explicit
`UINT64_C` type.
In the `Int8` case of `VECTOR_SH{R,L}_V128`, when all the values are the
same, then a single-instruction `gf2p8affineqb` can be emitted that does
an int8-based arithmetic-shift, utilizing GF(8) arithmetic.

Also fixes the iteration-type for when detecting if all of the simd
lanes are the same value(was iterating `u16` and not `u8`)
In the `Int8` case of `VECTOR_SHA_V128`, when all the values are the same, then a single-instruction `gf2p8affineqb` can be emitted that does an int8-based arithmetic-shift, utilizing GF(8) arithmetic.

As of now(Dec 2021): Tremont(Lakefield), Jasper Lake, Ice lake, Tigerlake, and Rocket Lake support GNFI.
