i386: Generate lfence with load/indirect branch/ret [CVE-2020-0551]

Add 3 command-line options to generate lfence for load, indirect near
branch and ret to help mitigate:

1. -mlfence-after-load=[no|yes]:
  -mlfence-after-load=yes generates lfence after load instructions.
2. -mlfence-before-indirect-branch=[none|all|memory|register]:
  a. -mlfence-before-indirect-branch=all generates lfence before indirect
  near branches via register and a warning before indirect near branches
  via memory.
  b. -mlfence-before-indirect-branch=memory issue a warning before
  indirect near branches via memory.
  c. -mlfence-before-indirect-branch=register generates lfence before
  indirect near branches via register.
Note that lfence won't be generated before indirect near branches via
register with -mlfence-after-load=yes since lfence will be generated
after loading branch target register.
3. -mlfence-before-ret=[none|or|not]
  a. -mlfence-before-ret=or generates or with lfence before ret.
  b. -mlfence-before-ret=not generates not with lfence before ret.

A warning will be issued and lfence won't be generated before indirect
near branch and ret if the previous item is a prefix or a constant
directive, which may be used to hardcode an instruction, since there
is no clear instruction boundary.
