x86: Add helper functions to access rflags
The rflags register is spread across several different registers. Most of the flags are stored in MISCREG_RFLAGS, but some are stored in microcode registers. When accessing RFLAGS, we need to reconstruct it from these registers. This changeset adds two functions, X86ISA::getRFlags() and X86ISA::setRFlags(), that take care of this magic.
