one-byte NOPs. If the processor actually executes those NOPs, as it sometimes
does with aligned bundling, this can have a performance impact. From my
micro-benchmarks run on my one machine, a 15-byte NOP followed by twelve
one-byte NOPs is about 20% worse than a 15 followed by a 12. This patch
changes NOP emission to emit as many 15-byte (the maximum) as possible followed
by at most one shorter NOP.

Currently, when a fragment is relaxed, its size is modified, but its
offset is not (it gets laid out as a side effect of checking whether
it needs relaxation), then all subsequent fragments are invalidated
because their offsets need to change. When bundling is enabled,
relaxed fragments need to get laid out again, because the increase in
size may push it over a bundle boundary. So instead of only
invalidating subsequent fragments, also invalidate the fragment that
gets relaxed, which causes it to get laid out again.
This patch also fixes some trailing whitespace and fixes the
bundling-related debug output of MCFragments.

Also, update the test-generation script to generate an exhaustive test for
align_to_end as well, and include the generated test.

the script generating it. The test should never be modified manually. If anyone
needs to change it, please change the script and re-run it.
The script is placed into utils/testgen - I couldn't think of a better place,
and after some discussion on IRC this looked like a logical location.
