Adding support to emulate nop5 as the original uprobe instruction.

This speeds up uprobes on top of nop5 instructions:
(results from benchs/run_bench_uprobes.sh)

current:

     uprobe-nop     :    3.252 ± 0.019M/s
     uprobe-push    :    3.097 ± 0.002M/s
     uprobe-ret     :    1.116 ± 0.001M/s
 --> uprobe-nop5    :    1.115 ± 0.001M/s
     uretprobe-nop  :    1.731 ± 0.016M/s
     uretprobe-push :    1.673 ± 0.023M/s
     uretprobe-ret  :    0.843 ± 0.009M/s
 --> uretprobe-nop5 :    1.124 ± 0.001M/s

after the change:

     uprobe-nop     :    3.281 ± 0.003M/s
     uprobe-push    :    3.085 ± 0.003M/s
     uprobe-ret     :    1.130 ± 0.000M/s
 --> uprobe-nop5    :    3.276 ± 0.007M/s
     uretprobe-nop  :    1.716 ± 0.016M/s
     uretprobe-push :    1.651 ± 0.017M/s
     uretprobe-ret  :    0.846 ± 0.006M/s
 --> uretprobe-nop5 :    3.279 ± 0.002M/s

Strangely I can see uretprobe-nop5 is now much faster compared to
uretprobe-nop, while perf profiles for both are almost identical.
I'm still checking on that.
