not used. we'll probably rip the whole thing out at some point but for now, no
reason to pollute user systems with this.

Instead of clearing a hardcoded 16 bytes, adjust for the actual number
of instructions modified. The implementation will still only clear a
single cacheline so it doesn't change behaviour.
This used to exist in the FEXCore header since the unaligned handler was
done in the frontend. Once it got moved in to FEXCore it had stayed
there. Move it over now.
In the case of a visibility tear when one thread is backpatching while
another is executing. The executing thread can /potentially/ see the
writing of instructions depending on coherency rules or filling of
cachelines.
By ensuring the DMB instructions are backpatched over the NOP
instructions first, this ensures correct atomic visibility even on tear.
When code buffers are shared between threads, FEX needs to be careful
around backpatching its code buffers, since one thread might have
backpatched the code that another thread was also planning on
backpatching.
To handle this case, when the handler fails to find a backpatchable
instruction, check if it was already backpatched. This can be determined
by atomically reading the instructions back and seeing if they have
turned in to the non-atomic variants.
In most cases we can just return saying that it has been handled, in the
case of a store we need to back the PC up 4 bytes to ensure the DMB is
executed before the non-atomic store.
These handlers don't do any code backpatching so locking the spinlock
futex isn't necessary. Move them before the lock to make them a bit more
efficient once code buffers get shared.
If we query the CPU flags ourselves then vixl is no longer a
compile-time or runtime dependency unless the vixl disassembler or
simulator is built.
A bit spicy from all the feature bits we need to load up.
they are both tiny and seemingly unmaintained upstream, let's bring them
under our own umbrella in tree.

Somewhere there was an assumption made that INC and DEC supported the
repeat prefix. This isn't actually the case, while the prefix can be
encoded, it is a nop and should only expect to be used for padding.
Adds a unittest to ensure that behaviour is as expected.
With the previous Copy{To,From}User helpers we need to actually
implement the handlers correctly. We want something that is a bit
lighter so we don't need to implement the faulting path in the syscall
handlers.
Implements a handful of helpers that just check for readable and
writable capability which can be thrown in to an assertion handler that
is zero cost in release mode.
Readable is checked by just attempting to read all bytes.
Writable is checked by attempting to read each byte and writing it back
to the same location.
Uses these helpers in x64/FD.cpp to showcase how they will be used to
detect EFAULT. Tested locally that they work correctly by writing some
small tests for the syscalls that expect EFAULT.
