Lower CLZERO out of line instead of failing the relink: the 64-byte line
containing rAX (EAX with 67h) is cleared with four MOVNTDQ stores of
zero, the same non-temporal, weakly ordered store. The line address is
masked in xmm0 so RFLAGS stays untouched; xmm0 and rcx are spilled below
the red zone. Short sites share stubs through MatchSequence. CLZERO with
LOCK, an FS/GS override, a 66/F2/F3 prefix or longer than 15 bytes fails
the relink.
The decoder splits a REX followed by another prefix into a separate
instruction, which would hide a prefix that changes what CLZERO or the
next instruction does. The converter now fails the relink when such a
prefix-only fragment directly precedes an AMD-only instruction or would
be moved into a stub as a trailing instruction.

Replace MONITORX with a NOP and MWAITX with PAUSE in place, padded with
NOPs to the original length, instead of failing the relink. MWAITX may
return before its timer or a store to the monitored line, and without an
armed monitor it does not wait, so callers already re-check their
condition; the replacement takes that path every time.

Lower SHA256RNDS2, SHA256MSG1 and SHA256MSG2 (register forms) out of line
with legacy SSE2 instructions only, so relinked code no longer needs
SHA-NI. Consecutive short SHA-256 and SSE4a sites share one stub. The
SSE4a stub builder moves to StubBodyBuilder for reuse; IsShaNi now also
recognises SHA256RNDS2 (0F 38 CB). Memory operand forms fail the relink.

Lower INSERTQ xmm1, xmm2 (F2 0F 79) out of line with SSE2 only instead of
failing the --to-intel relink. Length and index are read from bits 69:64
and 77:72 of the source; dst[127:64] is zeroed as on hardware.

Only the lines this branch added lose their comments; the commits before
keep them, with the reasoning behind each change, for whoever digs into
that code later.

- --exclude-sce-module <file> (repeatable) drops one title module from
guest conversion, e.g. a title libc.prx, while the rest of sce_module
is still relinked as guest modules
- the instruction scanner stops at zero padding that ends a code segment
with an odd byte instead of failing on a truncated `add [rax], al`

EXTRQ, INSERTQ, MOVNTSS and MOVNTSD are rewritten at relink time: same-length in-place forms
where they exist, otherwise a jmp rel32 into an appended executable section holding a
scratch-free SSE body and a jump back, so no code shifts and no RIP-relative or jump-table
operand needs adjusting. Decoder fixes for POPCNT and 0F BB (BTC), codegen and elfpatcher
tests, README and technical-debt notes. The runtime illegal-instruction trap stays as a
fallback.
