static_call/x86: Add __static_call_return0()
Provide a stub function that return 0 and wire up the static call site patching to replace the CALL with a single 5 byte instruction that clears %RAX, the return value register. The function can be cast to any function pointer type that has a single %RAX return (including pointers). Also provide a version that returns an int for convenience. We are clearing the entire %RAX register in any case, whether the return value is 32 or 64 bits, since %RAX is always a scratch register anyway.
