Until now curly braces could only be used in MS inline assembly to mark block start/end.
All curly braces were removed completely at a very early stage.
This approach caused bugs like:
"m{o}v eax, ebx" turned into "mov eax, ebx" without any error.
In addition, AVX-512 added special operands (e.g., k registers), which are also surrounded by curly braces that mark them as such.
Now, we need to keep the curly braces and identify at a later stage if they are marking block start/end (if so, ignore them), or surrounding special AVX-512 operands (if so, parse them as such).
This patch fixes the bug described above and enables the use of AVX-512 special operands.
