    x86: figure braces aren't really part of mnemonics
    
    Instead they're separators for pseudo-prefixes. Don't insert them in
    mnemonic_chars[], handling them explicitly in parse_insn() instead. Note
    that this eliminates the need for another separator after a pseudo-
    prefix. While maybe not overly interesting for a following real
    mnemonic, I view this as quite desirable between multiple successive
    pseudo-prefixes (bringing things in line with the other use of figure
    braces in AVX512's zeroing-masking).
    
    Drop the unused is_mnemonic_char() at this occasion.
