objtool: Consolidate annotation macros

Consolidate __ASM_ANNOTATE into a single macro which is used by both C
and asm. This also makes the code generation a bit more palatable by
putting it all on a single line.

Turn this:

911:
.pushsection .discard.annotate_insn,"M", @progbits, 8
.long 911b - .
.long 1
.popsection
jmp __x86_return_thunk

Into:

911: .pushsection ".discard.annotate_insn", "M", @progbits, 8; .long 911b - .; .long 1; .popsection
jmp __x86_return_thunk
