x86, perf: Add a build-time sanity test to the x86 decoder

Add a sanity test of x86 insn decoder against a stream
of randomly generated input, at build time.

This test is also able to reproduce any bug that might
trigger by allowing the passing of random-seed and
iteration-number to the test, or by passing input
which has invalid byte code.

Changes in V2:
 - Code cleanup.
 - Show how to reproduce the error by insn_sanity test.
