x86: clean up alternative.h
Alternative header duplicates assembly that could be merged in
one single macro. Merging this into this macro also allows to
directly declare ALTERNATIVE() statements within assembly code.
Uses a __stringify() of the feature bits rather than passing a
"i" operand. Leave the old %0 operand as-is (set to 0), unused
to stay compatible with API.
(v2: tab alignment fixes)
