Add {vex3} and {vex2} prefixes by analogy with {evex}
Allow specifying {vex3} or {vex2} (the latter is currently always redundant, unless we end up with instructions at some point can be specified with legacy prefixes or VEX) to select a specific encoding of VEX-encoded instructions. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
