On x64, we allocate one big code region such that we can use near jumps
and near calls. The jump table did not make use of that design yet.
This CL changes that by emitting jump table slots as near jumps. This
also speeds up patching jump table slots significantly, since far jumps
populate the inline constant pool, which is unneeded overhead in this
case.
As a drive-by, this CL cleans up the API of near_call and near_jmp. The
current semantics is broken, and only works because this is only used
for WebAssembly calls which are patched anyway after code generation.
Also, x64 now uses the same path in test-jump-table-assembler.cc as
arm64 to ensure that all targets are within near-call-distance.
