    x86: drop identifier_chars[]
    
    It tries to resemble what's underlying is_part_of_name(), but doesn't
    quite achieve that: '$' for example is unconditionally marked as part of
    symbol names, but was included as identifier char for Intel syntax only.
    Note that i386_att_operand() checks for the immediate prefix first, so
    the wider coverage by starts_memory_operand() is has no real effect
    there, but it does matter for something like
    
            mov     %fs:$dollar, %eax
    
    which previously wasn't accepted (but which clearly is a memory
    reference - there's no point in forcing people to parenthesize the
    symbol name). Similarly including '%' as an identfier for Intel syntax
    had no real significance to the rest of the assembler. If '%' was to be
    valid in (unquoted) symbol names, LEX_PCT would need to be defined.
    
    Note further that this also addresses the latent issue of a sub-target
    defining LEX_AT or LEX_QM to zero: That would make '@' and/or '?' no
    valid part of symbol names, but would have included them in what
    is_identifier_char() considers a valid part of a name. (There's a minor
    related issue which is actually being eliminated: te-interix.h allows
    '@' only in the middle of symbol names, yet starts_memory_operand()
    specifically looks at the first character of [possibly] a symbol name.)
    
    In parse_real_register() there's no point also checking is_name_ender()
    as at this point no character is marked solely LEX_END_NAME by any sub-
    target. Checking is_name_beginner() is also pointless as the hash lookup
    will fail anyway for a zero-length name.
    
    While touching the check in parse_real_register() also drop the
    "allow_naked_reg" part of the condition: This has only led to
    inconsistent error messages.
