[X86][MC] Report error when the instruction length exceeds 15 bytes (#83708)
The instruction-size limit of 15 bytes still applies to APX instructions. Note that it is possible for an EVEX-encoded legacy instruction to reach the 15-byte instruction length limit: 4 bytes of EVEX prefix + 1 byte of opcode + 1 byte of ModRM + 1 byte of SIB + 4 bytes of displacement + 4 bytes of immediate = 15 bytes in total, e.g. ``` addq $184, -96, %rax # encoding: [0x62,0xf4,0xfc,0x18,0x81,0x04,0x25,0xa0,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xb8,0x00,0x00,0x00] ``` If we added a segment prefix like fs, the length would be 16. In such a case, no additional (ASIZE or segment override) prefix can be used. To help users find this issue earlier, especially for assembler users, we change the internal compiler error to error in this patch. Diagnostic is aligned with GAS https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31323
