A recent change to the handling of constants in TCG changed the
pattern of ops emitted for a constant add. We no longer emit a mov and
the constant can be applied directly to the TCG_op_add arguments. This
was causing SEGVs when running the insn plugin with arg=inline. Fix
this by updating copy_add_i64 to do the right thing while also adding
a comment at the top of the append section as an aide memoir if
something like this happens again.

We first inject empty instrumentation from translator_loop.
After translation, we go through the plugins to see what
they want to register for, filling in the empty instrumentation.
If if turns out that some instrumentation remains unused, we
remove it.
This approach supports the following features:
- Inlining TCG code for simple operations. Note that we do not
export TCG ops to plugins. Instead, we give them a C API to
insert inlined ops. So far we only support adding an immediate
to a u64, e.g. to count events.
- "Direct" callbacks. These are callbacks that do not go via
a helper. Instead, the helper is defined at run-time, so that
the plugin code is directly called from TCG. This makes direct
callbacks as efficient as possible; they are therefore used
for very frequent events, e.g. memory callbacks.
- Passing the host address to memory callbacks. Most of this
is implemented in a later patch though.
- Instrumentation of memory accesses performed from helpers.
See the corresponding comment, as well as a later patch.
