Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86/alternative: record .altinstructions section entity size

.altinstructions entry was 12 bytes in size, then it was 13 bytes,
now it is 12 again. It was 24 bytes on some distros as well.
Record this information as section sh_entsize value so that tools
which parse .altinstructions have easier time.
