Hej,
this patch enable folding emitted prefixq bytes into multi-byte emitter
functions (emit_int16(int8, int8) etc).
Only those functions where there is always a prefix being emitted have
been adjusted. Other variants could improve slightly by doing similar
tricks, but with a smaller payoff and more complexity.

Testing: tier1-4 (ongoing)
Thanks,
