Rollup merge of #119365 - nbdd0121:asm-goto, r=Amanieu
Add asm goto support to `asm!` Tracking issue: #119364 This PR implements asm-goto support, using the syntax described in "future possibilities" section of [RFC2873](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2873-inline-asm.html#asm-goto). Currently I have only implemented the `label` part, not the `fallthrough` part (i.e. fallthrough is implicit). This doesn't reduce the expressive though, since you can use label-break to get arbitrary control flow or simply set a value and rely on jump threading optimisation to get the desired control flow. I can add that later if deemed necessary. r? ``@Amanieu`` cc ``@ojeda``
