Stabilize Arm64EC inline assembly

This stabilizes inline assembly for Arm64EC ("Emulation Compatible").

Corresponding reference PR: rust-lang/reference#1653

From the requirements of stabilization mentioned in rust-lang#93335

Each architecture needs to be reviewed before stabilization:

• It must have clobber_abi.

Done in rust-lang#131332.

• It must be possible to clobber every register that is normally clobbered by a function call.

This is possible from the time of the initial implementation.

• Generally review that the exposed register classes make sense.

The registers available in this target are a subset of those available in the AArch64 inline assembly which is already stable.

The following registers cannot be used in Arm64EC compared to AArch64:

• x13, x14, x23, x24, x28 (register class: reg)
• v[16-31] (register class: vreg)
• p[0-15], ffr (clobber-only register class preg)

These are disallowed by the ABI (see also abi docs for reg/vreg and rust-lang#131332 (comment) for preg).

Although not listed in the above requirements, preserves_flags is also implemented and the same as AArch64.
