x86/alternatives: Switch AMD F15h and later to the P6 NOPs

Software optimization guides for both F15h and F16h cite those
NOPs as the optimal ones. A microbenchmark confirms that
actually even older families are better with the single-insn
NOPs so switch to them for the alternatives.

Cycles count below includes the loop overhead of the measurement
but that overhead is the same with all runs.
