[PATCH] x86: %riz, %rip, and %eip don't require REX

While these can't be used as register operands, they can be used for
memory operand addressing. Such uses do not prevent conversion: The
RegRex64 checks in check_Rex_required() for base and index registers
were simply wrong. They specifically also aren't needed for byte
registers, as those won't pass i386_index_check() anyway.
---
I'm inclined to reduce RegRex64 use in the register table as well
(checking of the possibility of which actually made me spot the issue
addressed here): With a little bit of care in tc-i386.c it should
really only be %axl through %dil which need this attribute. All others
are sufficiently distinguishable by having RegRex / RegRex2.
