x86/alternatives: Add longer 64-bit NOPs
By adding support for longer NOPs there are a few more alternatives that can turn into a single instruction. Add up to NOP11, the same limit where GNU as .nops also stops generating longer nops. This is because a number of uarchs have severe decode penalties for more than 3 prefixes.
