Apart from removing almost 1000 lines of very repetitive code, the idea here is
to change the assembler from a huge pile of arbitrary code into something that
can be used to generate tables of opcodes and their structure. Later, I'd like to
use this to make the disassembler more table driven and less arbitrary, and
perhaps build an x86 simulator in the same vein as the ARM simulator, which
would help me debug (I find the ARM simulator very useful when making low level
changes to the VM and miss its functionality on x86).

Several tricks here:
* When zeroing registers we can use xorl instead of xorq because the 'l'
variant will zero the top bits.
* test and 'and' instructions with immediate arguments can use 8-bit and 32 bit
variants more heavily.
* mov reg, immediate can use more compact encodings when sign-extension is not
needed.
Performance is better than +1% when measured on Dart2JS.

Intel optimization manual says: "Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 64. (H impact, M
generality) Use the 32-bit versions of instructions in 64-bit mode to reduce
code size unless the 64-bit version is necessary to access 64-bit data or
additional registers."

This removes the IA32 disassembler and uses the X64 disassembler for
both variants. Instructions that were in the IA32 assembler, but not
supported by the X64 disassembler have been added. It also adds some
regression tests for a lot of the disassembler output.
