arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction
Since all immediate branches are PC-relative on Aarch64, these instructions cannot be used as an alternative with the simplistic approach we currently have (the immediate has been computed from the .altinstr_replacement section, and end-up being completely off if we insert it directly). This patch handles the b and bl instructions in a different way, using the insn framework to recompute the immediate, and generate the right displacement.
