RFR: 8282414: x86: Enhance the assembler to generate more compact instructions [v2]

[Quan Anh Mai]

> Hi, this patch enhances the x86 assembler to emit more compact code for some popular instructions.
> 
> For common arithmetic instructions against immediates, if the immediate requires more than 1 byte to encode, we can still shave off 1 byte if the register operand is rax.
> 
> For test instruction, since the operation does not write the result, we can downgrade a long to an int and an int to a byte instruction if the immediate is positive and encodable using a smaller amount of bytes.
> 
> Thank you very much.
