bpf, x64: save several bytes by using mov over movabsq when possible
While analyzing some of the more complex BPF programs from Cilium, I found that LLVM generally prefers to emit LD_IMM64 instead of MOV32 BPF instructions for loading unsigned 32-bit immediates into a register. Given we cannot change the current/stable LLVM versions that are already out there, lets optimize this case such that the JIT prefers to emit 'mov %eax, imm32' over 'movabsq %rax, imm64' whenever suitable in order to reduce the image size by 4-5 bytes per such load in the typical case, reducing image size on some of the bigger programs by up to 4%. emit_mov_imm32() and emit_mov_imm64() have been added as helpers.
