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.

Improves the accuracy of measurements, especially in short sections.
To quote the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual:
"The RDTSC instruction is not a serializing instruction. It does not necessarily
wait until all previous instructions have been executed before reading the counter.
Similarly, subsequent instructions may begin execution before the read operation
is performed. If software requires RDTSC to be executed only after all previous
instructions have completed locally, it can either use RDTSCP (if the processor
supports that instruction) or execute the sequence LFENCE;RDTSC."
SSE2 is a requirement for lfence so only use it on SSE2-capable systems.
Prefer lfence;rdtsc over rdtscp since rdtscp is supported on fewer systems.

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`).

vector_fmul and vector_fmac_scalar are guaranteed that they can process in
batch of 16 elements, but their SSE versions only does 8 at a time.
Therefore, unroll them a bit.

This is so we can sync to x264's version of FMA4 support.

Automatically use VEX-encoding in AVX/AVX2/XOP/FMA3/FMA4
functions for all instructions that exists in a VEX-encoded
version.
This change makes it easier to extend existing code to use AVX2.
Also add support for AVX emulation of a few instructions that
were missing before.

Prevents a crash if the misaligned exception mask bit is
cleared for some reason.
Misaligned SSE functions are only used on AMD Phenom CPUs
and the benefit is miniscule. They also require modifying
the MXCSR control register and by removing those functions
we can get rid of that complexity altogether.

Store XMM6 and XMM7 in the shadow space in functions that
clobbers them. This way we don't have to adjust the stack
pointer as often, reducing the number of instructions as
well as code size.

Now RET checks whether it immediately follows a branch, so the
programmer dosen't have to keep track of that condition. REP_RET
is still needed manually when it's a branch target, but that's
much rarer.
The implementation involves lots of spurious labels, but that's OK
because we strip them.
