x86: parse_register() must not alter the parsed string
This reverts the code change done by 100f993c ("x86: Check unbalanced braces in memory reference"), which wrongly identified e87fb6a6 ("x86/gas: support quoted address scale factor in AT&T syntax") as the root cause of PR gas/30248. (The testcase is left in place, no matter that it's at best marginally useful in that shape.) The problem instead is that parse_register() alters the string handed to it, thus breaking valid assumptions in subsequent parsing code. Since the function's behavior is a result of get_symbol_name()'s, make a copy of the incoming string before invoking that function. Like for parse_real_register() follow the model of strtol() et al: input string is const-qualified to signal that the string isn't altered, but the returned "end" pointer is not const-qualified, requiring const to be cast away (which generally is a bad idea, but the alternative would again be more convoluted code).
