Add some helper macros for asm functions so that they can comply with stackvalidate.
The FUNC_ENTER and FUNC_RETURN macros help asm functions save, set up, and restore frame pointers. The RET_NOVALIDATE and FILE_NOVALIDATE macros can be used to whitelist the few locations which need a return instruction outside of a callable function.
