origin/HEAD)

Assorted changes to protect from side affects from the feature checking
code.
Patch contributed by Will Schmidt
This problem was initially reported by Tulio, he assisted me in
identifying the underlying issue here.
This was discovered on a Power10, and occurs since the ISA 3.1 support
check uses the brh instruction via a hardcoded ".long 0x7f1401b6" asm
stanza.
That encoding writes to r20, and since the stanza does not contain a
clobber
the compiler did not know to save or restore that register upon entry or
exit.
The junk value remaining in r20 subsequently caused a segfault.
This patch adds clobber masks to the instruction stanzas, as well as
updates the associated comments to clarify which registers are being
used.
As part of this change I've also
- updated the .long for the cnttzw instruction to write to r20, and
zeroed the reserved bits from that instruction so it is properly
decoded by the disassembler.
- updated the .long for the dadd instruction to write to f0.
I've inspected the current codegen with these changes in place, and
confirm that r20 is now saved and restored on entry and exit from the
machine_get_hwcaps() function.
