Ensures that blocks always start with the same state independently of predecessors
which allows independent compilation of blocks.
Starting in the X87 state is better than starting in MMX state because
MMX state is more work to initialize.
FEAT_ECV added a new synchronizing cycle counter instruction that
restrict speculation across the cycle counter access. Because it
restricts speculation, it effectively acts like an isb and load dsb.
Luckily for us, this actually matches behaviour for what rdtscp does, so
we can take advantage of it if the host supports FEAT_ECV.
ZF needs to be preserved.
the new code is the same instr count on flagm although probably an extra uop.
the inst count regression is on flagm, but we can't tolerate broken behaviour.

3DNow Reciprocal estimations did not have enough accuracy. Tests were enabled
to check for accurate values of reciprocals.
* where needed, reciprocal accuracy was increased.
* 3DNow sqrt reciprocal fixed for negative values.
* New helper VFCopySign IR op added.
Fixes#4319.
We already have this mask generated, and because sha instructions
typically don't exist in a vacuum it is actually beneficial to cache the
mask and use a single tbl instruction per shuffle.
OpenSSL has 12 sha1 instructions in their hot loop as an example, so
this would be a fairly good reduction in that loop. Sadly we don't have
it in instcountci, instead having their sha256 hotloop instead (Which
currently doesn't have sha256rnds2 optimized).
Even in a vacuum this is technically 1 instruction savings for each
instruction which is nice.
When set - either via POPF or a thread context operation - the trap flag
raises a single step exception after the execution of each instruction.
As e.g. a JUMP instruction with TF set will raise an exception at the
jump target. Handle this on the FEX side by storing both the flag itself
(in bit 0) and a 'block exceptions' flag (in bit 1, inverted). Each
generated block when TF is set is then forced to a single instruction
with logic to raise the exception at the start. Initially after setting
TF exceptions are blocked, then at the start of the block they are
unblocked so that after the instruction executes an exception is raised
at the start of the next block.
this is a pain to track and, it turns out, buys us virtually nothing on flagm
systems. rip it out.
this fixes a bug with failing to set in all the right places.
on non-flagm systems there's a slight instcountci impact, but that is mostly
mitigated by the earlier patches in the series. so overall a wash there but
worth it for making the codebase easier
to reason about.
