While it was over 5 years back that quoted symbols were introduced,
there continue to be many issues. I thought I'd at least start with
some of the lower hanging fruit. While doing so I've noticed a number
of other oddities. Hence the apparent mixture of changes here.

1: immediate operands don't allow for vector operations
2: remove pointless 2nd parameter from check_VecOperations()
3: Intel: drop unnecessary bracket matching from parse_operands()
4: correct absolute branch check with segment override
5: make symbol quotation check consistent in i386_att_operand()
6: allow unary operators to start a memory operand
7: better respect quotes in parse_operands()
8: honor quoted figure braces in i386_att_operand()
