x86emul: VEX.B is ignored in compatibility mode

While VEX.R and VEX.X are guaranteed to be 1 in compatibility mode
(and hence a respective mode_64bit() check can be dropped), VEX.B can
be encoded as zero, but would be ignored by the processor. Since we
emulate instructions in 64-bit mode (except possibly in the test
harness), we need to force the bit to 1 in order to not act on the
wrong {X,Y,Z}MM register (which has no bad effect on 32-bit test
harness builds, as there the bit would again be ignored by the
hardware, and would by default be expected to be 1 anyway).

We must not, however, fiddle with the high bit of VEX.VVVV in the
decode phase, as that would undermine the checking of instructions
requiring the field to be all ones independent of mode. This is
being enforced in copy_REX_VEX() instead.

x86emul: correct VEX/XOP/EVEX operand size handling for 16-bit code

Operand size defaults to 32 bits in that case, but would not have been
set that way in the absence of an operand size override.
