static_call: Add static_call_cond()
Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common pattern: if (func_ptr) func_ptr(args...) For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call. For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5. NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type. NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed to a full function.
