Shengchen Kan 916044d819 [X86][MC] Support enhanced relaxation for branch align
Summary:
Since D75300 has been landed, I want to support enhanced relaxation when we need to align branches and allow prefix padding. "Enhanced Relaxtion" means we allow an instruction that could not be traditionally relaxed to be emitted into RelaxableFragment so that we increase its length by adding prefixes for optimization.

The motivation is straightforward, RelaxFragment is mostly for relative jumps and we can not increase the length of jumps when we need to align them, so if we need to achieve D75300's purpose (reducing the bytes of nops) when need to align jumps, we have to make more instructions "relaxable".
