Move the function to its own assembly file. Having it in C just for the

A "basic" version using qword steps for the bulk of the operation, and an

patching.
For RET to be usable in an alternative's replacement code, extend the
CALL/JMP patching to cover the case of "JMP __x86_return_thunk" coming
last in replacement code.
