x86: re-work ISA extension dependency handling
Getting both forward and reverse ISA dependencies right / consistent has been a permanent source of mistakes. Reduce what needs specifying manually to just the direct forward dependencies. Transitive forward dependencies as well as reverse ones are now derived and hence cannot go out of sync anymore (at least in the vast majority of cases; there are a few special cases to still take care of manually). In the course of this several CPU_ANY_*_FLAGS disappear, requiring adjustment to the assembler's cpu_arch[]. Note that to retain the correct reverse dependency of AVX512F wrt AVX512-VP2INTERSECT, the latter has the previously missing AVX512F prereq added. Note further that to avoid adding the following undue prereqs: * ATHLON, K8, and AMDFAM10 gain CMOV and FXSR, * IAMCU gains 387, auxiliary table entries (including a colon-separated modifier) are introduced in addition to the ones representing from converting the old table. To maintain forward-only dependencies between AVX (XOP) and SSE* (SSE4a) (i.e. "nosse" not disabling AVX), reverse dependency tracking is artifically suppressed. As a side effect disabling of SSE or SSE2 will now also disable AES, PCLMUL, and SHA (respective elements were missing from CPU_ANY_SSE2_FLAGS).
