b53823fb2e selftests/rseq: Fix: work-around asm goto compiler bugs
gcc and clang each have their own compiler bugs with respect to asm
goto. Implement a work-around for compiler versions known to have those
bugs.

gcc prior to 4.8.2 miscompiles asm goto.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670

gcc prior to 8.1.0 miscompiles asm goto at O1.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=103908

clang prior to version 13.0.1 miscompiles asm goto at O2.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52735

Work around these issues by adding a volatile inline asm with
memory clobber in the fallthrough after the asm goto and at each
label target.  Emit this for all compilers in case other similar
issues are found in the future.
