    jump_label: Rename JUMP_LABEL_{EN,DIS}ABLE to JUMP_LABEL_{JMP,NOP} · 76b235c6

    Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
    NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
    rename it to make it all clearer.
    
    This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
    plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
    of a jump label is.
    
    This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
    a stream of avoidable bugs such as:
