scripts/decodecode: fix decoding for AArch64 (arm64) instructions
There are a couple of problems with the decodecode script and arm64:
1. AArch64 objdump refuses to disassemble .4byte directives as instructions,
insisting that they are data values and displaying them as:
a94153f3 .word 0xa94153f3 <-- trapping instruction
This is resolved by using the .inst directive instead.
2. Disassembly of branch instructions attempts to provide the target as
an offset from a symbol, e.g.:
0: 34000082 cbz w2, 10 <.text+0x10>
however this falls foul of the grep -v, which matches lines containing
".text" and ends up removing all branch instructions from the dump.
This patch resolves both issues by using the .inst directive for 4-byte
quantities on arm64 and stripping the resulting binaries (as is done on
arm already) to remove the mapping symbols.
