[AGC] Fix v_fmac_f32 family decoding in Gen5 VOP2 table (#103)

VOP2 opcode 0x2B was mapped to v_ldexp_f32, which is its gfx6/gfx7
assignment. On gfx10-class hardware 0x2B is v_fmac_f32, so any shader
using it silently computed ldexp(a, b) instead of dst += a * b.
v_ldexp_f32 on gfx10 only exists as VOP3 0x362, which the VOP3 table
already maps correctly.

Also add the remaining members of the fmac family:
- v_fmamk_f32 (0x2C) and v_fmaak_f32 (0x2D), including their mandatory
  literal dword in instruction sizing and operand construction, reusing
  the existing v_madmk/v_madak handling.
- The VOP3-encoded form of v_fmac_f32 (0x12B), emitted when source
  modifiers are present.

SPIR-V emission reuses the existing v_mac_f32 body (fma with the
destination register as addend) and the v_mad/v_fma case group.

Opcode assignments verified against LLVM's AMDGPU backend
(VOP2Instructions.td): V_FMAC_F32 gfx10 = 0x02b, V_FMAMK_F32 = 0x02c,
V_FMAAK_F32 = 0x02d; V_LDEXP_F32 is 0x02b only on gfx6/gfx7 and is
VOP3-only 0x362 on gfx10. Decode verified by feeding hand-assembled
gfx1013 words through Gen5ShaderTranslator: 0x560A0501 previously
decoded as VLdexpF32 and a v_fmamk_f32 program failed with
unknown-vop2 op=0x2C; both now decode correctly, and VOP3 0x362 still
decodes as VLdexpF32.
