x86inc: activate REP_RET automatically

Now RET checks whether it immediately follows a branch, so the
programmer dosen't have to keep track of that condition. REP_RET
is still needed manually when it's a branch target, but that's
much rarer.

The implementation involves lots of spurious labels, but that's OK
because we strip them.
