[X86] Automatically harden inline assembly RET instructions against Load Value Injection (LVI)
Previously, the X86AsmParser would issue a warning whenever a ret instruction is encountered. This patch changes the behavior to automatically transform each ret instruction in an inline assembly stream into: shlq $0, (%rsp) lfence ret which is secure, according to https://software.intel.com/security-software-guidance/insights/deep-dive-load-value-injection#specialinstructions. Patch by Scott Constable with some minor changes by Craig Topper.
