[PATCH v2 10/13] fuzz/x86_emulate: Make input more compact

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@citrix.com>]

At the moment, AFL reckons that for any given input, 87% of it is
completely irrelevant: that is, it can change it as much as it wants
but have no impact on the result of the test; and yet it can't remove
it.

This is largely because we interpret the blob handed to us as a large
struct, including CR values, MSR values, segment registers, and a full
cpu_user_regs.

Instead, modify our interpretation to have a "set state" stanza at the
front.  Begin by reading a byte; if it is lower than a certain
threshold, set some state according to what byte it is, and repeat.
Continue until the byte is above a certain threshold.

This allows AFL to compact any given test case much smaller; to the
point where now it reckons there is not a single byte of the test file
which becomes irrelevant.  Testing have shown that this option both
allows AFL to reach coverage much faster, and to have a total coverage
higher than with the old format.

Make this an option (rather than a unilateral change) to enable
side-by-side performance comparison of the old and new formats.
