x86: Re-enable partial_reg_dependency and movx for Haswell

r254152 disabled partial_reg_dependency and movx for Haswell and newer
Intel processors.  r258972 restored them for skylake-avx512.  For Haswell,
movx improves performance.  But partial_reg_stall may be better than
partial_reg_dependency in theory.  We will investigate performance impact
of partial_reg_stall vs partial_reg_dependency on Haswell for GCC 9.  In
the meantime, this patch restores both partial_reg_dependency and mox for
Haswell in GCC 8.

On Haswell, improvements for EEMBC benchmarks with

-mtune-ctrl=movx,partial_reg_dependency -Ofast -march=haswell

vs

-Ofast -mtune=haswell

are
