x86: drop/replace IgnoreSize
Even after commit dc2be329b950 ("i386: Only check suffix in instruction mnemonic"), by which many of its uses have become unnecessary (some were unnecessary even before), IgnoreSize is still used for various slightly different purposes: - to suppress emission of an operand size prefix, - in Intel syntax mode to zap "derived" suffixes in certain cases and to skip certain checks of remaining "derived" suffixes, - to suppress ambiguous operand size / missing suffix diagnostics, - for prefixes to suppress the "stand-alone ... prefix" warning. Drop entirely unnecessary ones and where possible also replace instances by the more focused (because of having just a single purpose) NoRex64. To further restrict when IgnoreSize is needed, also generalize the logic when to skip a template because of a present or derived L or Q suffix, by skipping immediate operands. Additionally consider mask registers and VecSIB there. Note that for the time being the attribute needs to be kept in place on MMX/SSE/etc insns (but not on VEX/EVEX encoded ones unless an operand template of them allows for only non-SIMD-register actuals) allowing for Dword operands - the logic when to emit a data size prefix would need further adjustment first. Note also that the memory forms of {,v}pinsrw get their permission for an L or Q suffix dropped. I can only assume that it being this way was a cut-and-paste mistake from the register forms, as the latter specifically have NoRex64 set, and the {,v}pextrw counterparts don't allow these suffixes either. Convert VexW= again to their respective VexW* on lines touched anyway.
