x86/insn-eval: Add a utility function to get register offsets
The function get_reg_offset() returns the offset to the register the argument specifies as indicated in an enumeration of type offset. Callers of this function would need the definition of such enumeration. This is not needed. Instead, add helper functions for this purpose. These functions are useful in cases when, for instance, the caller needs to decide whether the operand is a register or a memory location by looking at the rm part of the ModRM byte. As of now, this is the only helper function that is needed.
