x86, alternative: Add altinstruction_entry macro
Add altinstruction_entry macro to generate .altinstructions section
entries from assembly code. This should be less failure-prone than
open-coding.

x86/alternatives: No need for alternatives-asm.h to re-invent stuff already in asm.h
This at once also gets the alignment specification right for
x86-64.
