add behavior information for x86_64 instructions
this is a squash of a few months' hacking, including but not limited to what eventually got extracted into https://git.iximeow.net/asmlinator/about/ the path here is generally not historically interesting, and the vast majority of this diff is very particular static data tables (BehaviorDigests and implicit operand lists) `src/long_mode/behavior.rs` will more or less be directly adapted into versions for x86-32 and x86-16, similar to the instruction decoders.

## 2.1.0
+* x86-64, x86-32, and x86-16 instructions now have associated behavior information
+ (operand read/write, exceptions, privilege levels) accessible via `Instruction::behavior()`.
+ the new `behavior` modules include examples and further discussion of the new APIs.
* `InstDecoder` for all execution modes now has many more feature flags.
* `InstDecoder::default` still constructs a decoder that decodes all supported instructions.
* more ISA extensions can be individually selected for decoding support, though note

* removed 3DNow support from AMD uarch-specific decoders after K10
* RegSpec register helpers to construct RegSpec from register numbers are now const fn
(RegSpec::xmm, RegSpec::q, RegSpec::d, RegSpec::st, etc)
+* new crate feature flag, `unstable`, for library features that may see
+ breaking changes across semver-compatible releases.
* for uarch-specific decoding, there is now a feature bit for Intel Key Locker. this corrects an
issue where Key Locker instructions would decode under AMD-specific decoders.
* push-immediate, pushf, popf, pusha, popa, enter, leave, and xlat now all report a correct memory
