[PATCH] x86: adjust diagnostic for bad 4-bit immediates

The current error message for bad imm4 operands wasn't really helpful,
and was pointing at the wrong operand in Intel mode. Since non-constant
operands are being taken care of by other means anyway, adjust it to
simply state that the constant doesn't fit.

	* config/tc-i386-intel.c (match_template): Adjust error message
	for 'bad_imm4' case.
