Add a new test titled:
Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions
The purpose of this test is to check the instruction decoder after new
instructions have been added. Initially, MPX instructions are tested
which are already supported, but the definitions in x86-opcode-map.txt
will be tweaked in a subsequent patch, after which this test can be run
to verify those changes.
The data for the test comes from assembly language instructions in
insn-x86-dat-src.c which is converted into bytes by the scripts
gen-insn-x86-dat.sh and gen-insn-x86-dat.awk, and included into the test
program insn-x86.c as insn-x86-dat-32.c and insn-x86-dat-64.c.
The conversion is not done as part of the perf tools build because the
test data must be under (git) change control in order for the test to be
repeatably-correct. Also it may require a recent version of binutils.
