Update the emitter to support 2-byte VEX prefix #11005

Description

@tannergooding

Currently, the emitter only supports the 3-byte VEX prefix (outside a few specially handled instructions).
For normal floating-point arithmetic (or most 128-bit hardware intrinsics), this incurs an extra 1-byte per instruction.

It may be beneficial (for codegen size, and potentially throughput) to update the emitter to also support the 2-byte VEX prefix.
