[PATCH v7 09/26] x86/insn-eval: Add utility function to identify string instructions

[Ricardo Neri]

String instructions are special because in protected mode, the linear
address is always obtained via the ES segment register in operands that
use the (E)DI register. Segment override prefixes are ignored. non-
string instructions use DS as the default segment register and it can
be overridden with a segment override prefix.

This function will be used in a subsequent commmit that introduces a
function to determine the segment register to use given the instruction,
operands and segment override prefixes.
