arch/x86/Makefile tests instruction code by $(call as-instr, ...)

Some of them are very old.
For example, the check for CONFIG_AS_CFI dates back to 2006.

We raise GCC versions from time to time, and we clean old code away.
The same policy applied to binutils.

The current minimal supported version of binutils is 2.21

This is new enough to recognize the instruction in most of
as-instr calls.

If this series looks good, how to merge it?
Via x86 tree or maybe crypto ?


Changes in v2:
  - New patch
  - Remove CFI_SIGNAL_FRAME entirely (per Nick)
  - add ifdef CONFIG_X86 to fix build errors on non-x86 arches
