nosplit: Generate index-only EA only when a multiplier is used.

[nosplit eax] has been encoded as [eax*1+0] since 0.98.34.
But this seems like unexpected behavior.
So only when a register is multiplied, that will be treated
as an index. ([nosplit eax*1] -> [eax*1+0])
Document is updated accordingly.

 However, \c{NOSPLIT} in \c{[nosplit eax+eax]} will be ignored because user's
 intention here is considered as \c{[eax+eax]}.
