x86: X86 instruction decoder build-time selftest
Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build
time.
When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86
instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux.
The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder
code and check there are no differences.
