X86reference – quickly search x86 asm instruction reference (superhawk610.github.io)

Hey all, author here!

I’ve been fiddling around with learning x86 assembly recently, and was surprised at the lack of readily available, easy to use documentation. I did find [zneak/x86doc](https://github.com/zneak/x86doc), which does an excellent job at parsing Intel’s official reference, but I struggled to find some common instructions since they were nested under op-specific pages. Godbolt’s [compiler-explorer](https://github.con/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer) also provided a nice docs-on-hover tool, which borrows from x86doc as well. I put these together to create a site that allows searching through all instructions from a simple UI.

Let me know what you think! The project is still very fresh, so if you’re looking for a place to knock out your last Hacktoberfest PR, come take a look :)
