x86: fix Autoconf caching of instruction support checks [BZ #27991]
The Autoconf documentation for the AC_CACHE_CHECK macro states: The commands-to-set-it must have no side effects except for setting the variable cache-id, see below. However, the tests for support of -msahf and -mmovbe were embedded in the commands-to-set-it for lib_cv_include_x86_isa_level. This had the consequence that libc_cv_have_x86_lahf_sahf and libc_cv_have_x86_movbe were not defined whenever lib_cv_include_x86_isa_level was read from cache. These variables' being undefined meant that their unquoted use in later test expressions led to the 'test' built-in's misparsing its arguments and emitting errors like "test: =: unexpected operator" or "test: =: unary operator expected", depending on the particular shell. This commit refactors the tests for LAHF/SAHF and MOVBE instruction support into their own AC_CACHE_CHECK macro invocations to obey the rule that the commands-to-set-it must have no side effects other than setting the variable named by cache-id.
