x86/emulate: Correct boundary interactions of emulated instructions

This reverts most of c/s 0640ffb6 "x86emul: fix rIP handling".

Experimentally, in long mode processors will execute an instruction stream
which crosses the 64bit -1 -> 0 virtual boundary, whether the instruction
boundary is aligned on the virtual boundary, or is misaligned.

In compatibility mode, Intel processors will execute an instruction stream
which crosses the 32bit -1 -> 0 virtual boundary, while AMD processors raise a
segmentation fault.  Xen's segmentation behaviour matches AMD.

For 16bit code, hardware does not ever truncated %ip.  %eip is always used and
behaves normally as a 32bit register, including in 16bit protected mode
segments, as well as in Real and Unreal mode.

This is XSA-186 / CVE-2016-7093.
