x86: Improve -malign-branch

According to intel SDM manual, not all compare flag-modifying instructions
are marcro-fusible with subsequent jcc instructions. For those non-fusible
instructions, -malign-branch doesn't need to align them, only jcc itself
needs to be aligned.

Here are 2 restrictions which separate macro-fusible instruction from not

Restriction 1:
If TEST/AND/CMP/ADD/SUB/INC/DEC is one of the following format:

   cmp m, imm
   add m, imm
   sub m, imm
   test m, imm
   and m, imm
   inc m
   dec m

it is unfusible with any jcc instruction.

Restriction 2:

/* Table 3-2. Macro-Fusible Instructions in Haswell Microarchitecture
   Note it also works for Skylake and Cascadelake.

Update maybe_fused_with_jcc_p to check if operands of CMP like instructions
can be fused with condition jump.

* gas/config/tc-i386.h (i386_tc_frag_data): Add member mf_type.
(TC_FRAG_INIT): Init mf_type.
* gas/config/tc-i386.c (enum mf_jcc_kind): New enum.
(enum mf_cmp_kind): Ditto.
(maybe_fused_with_jcc_p): Add argument mf_cmp_p to get
mf_type of corresponding instructons, exclude unfusible
instructions.
(add_fused_jcc_padding_frag_p): Likewise.
(add_branch_padding_frag_p): Likewise.
(output_insn): Record mf_type for corresponding instructions.
(i386_macro_fusible_p): New function.
(i386_next_fusible_jcc_frag): Rename from i386_next_jcc_frag,
add argument cmp_fragP to return next fusible jcc frag only.
(i386_classify_machine_dependant_frag): Seperate macro-fusible
instructions from condition jump.
* gas/testsuite/gas/i386/align-branch-9.s: New file.
* gas/testsuite/gas/i386/align-branch-9.d: Ditto.
* gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-align-branch-9.s: Ditto.
* gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-align-branch-9.d: Ditto.
* gas/testsuite/gas/i386/i386.exp: Run new tests.
