The compiler can generate some '0x0' words in code sections to pad the
end of functions. Also some pesudo-instructions can generate data in
code sections. Mark them as INSN_NOP.

If there are other undecoded instructions, just record and remove them
from validation list.

These doesn't influence check and orc generation because these undecoded
instructions also won't be excuted.
