Flāvius fe76fb97cb x86: a baked enc_hint must name a form of its own mnemonic
mnemonic_builders.odin bakes `global_index + 1` into Instruction.enc_hint so the
encoder can skip the O(forms) match scan. The index is GLOBAL, so any edit to
the encoding table that inserts or removes a form shifts every index after it
and leaves the builders naming another instruction's encoding -- and nothing
noticed: the encoder took the form, emitted its bytes and returned success.

It has happened twice. 6e17e7a2d left 2130 of 3671 builders wrong; 36af73834
regenerated both halves and cleared it; baae2636b (adding `in`/`out`) re-broke
37; 9ae9a9bf9 shifted an early mnemonic and broke 3393 of 3802 -- including
CALL, whose r/m64 builder then encoded 0F 8A (JPE) instead of FF /2, turning
every indirect call into a conditional jump. The symptom was a segfault in a
JIT'd program, arbitrarily far from the cause.

Regenerated: 3820 of 3820 builders now correct. Three guards so it cannot
return silently:

  - the encoder checks, under ODIN_DEBUG, that the hinted form lies inside its
    own mnemonic's ENCODE_RUNS entry. Release keeps the byte-for-byte fast path;
    this is a regeneration-time mistake and only has to be caught once by
    anyone running tests.
  - the generator stamps BUILDER_TABLE_FINGERPRINT, an FNV-1a hash of every
    ENCODE_RUNS (start, count), into the file it emits.
  - run_builder_generation_test recomputes it from the loaded tables and fails
    with the command to regenerate.

Known-failing at this commit: four SAL/SHL cases, a separate defect in the
alias table, fixed in the commit that follows.

The Odin Programming Language

Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing, built for high performance, modern systems, and built-in data-oriented data types. The Odin Programming Language, the C alternative for the joy of programming.
