improve i386 inline syscall asm on non-broken compilers

we have to avoid using ebx unconditionally in asm constraints for
i386, because gcc 3 and 4 and possibly other simplistic compilers
(pcc?) implement PIC via making ebx a fixed-use register, and disallow
its use for anything else. rather than hard-coding knowledge of which
compilers work (at least gcc 5+ and clang), perform a configure test;
this should give us the good codegen on any new compilers we don't yet
know about.

swapping ebx and edx is kept for 1- and 2-arg syscalls because it
avoids having any spills/stack-frame at all in small functions. for
6-arg, if ebx is directly usable, the complex shuffling introduced in
commit c8798ef974d21c338a7d8d874a402978ffc6168e can be avoided, and
ebp can be loaded the same way ebx is in 5-arg syscalls for compilers
that don't support direct use of ebx.
