x86-64: refuse "high" 8-bit regs with .insn and VEX/XOP/EVEX encodings
Much like REX, those encodings - if permitting 8-bit regs at all, i.e. only starting with APX - permit use of "new" 8-bit registers only. %ah, %ch, %dh, and %bh cannot be encoded and hence should be rejected. Permit their use outside of 64-bit code though, as "new" registers simply don't exist there.
