    cmd/internal/obj: change Prog.From3 to RestArgs ([]Addr) · 8c67f210
    isharipo authored
    This change makes it easier to express instructions
    with arbitrary number of operands.
    
    Rationale: previous approach with operand "hiding" does
    not scale well, AVX and especially AVX512 have many
    instructions with 3+ operands.
    
    x86 asm backend is updated to handle up to 6 explicit operands.
    It also fixes issue with 4-th immediate operand type checks.
    All `ytab` tables are updated accordingly.
    
    Changes to non-x86 backends only include these patterns:
    `p.From3 = X` => `p.SetFrom3(X)`
    `p.From3.X = Y` => `p.GetFrom3().X = Y`
    
    Over time, other backends can adapt Prog.RestArgs
    and reduce the amount of workarounds.
