 Change jump targets in JMP_TBL from blocks to X86.JumpDest.

 Jump tables always point to blocks when we first generate them.  However
 there are rare situations where we can shortcut one of these blocks to a
 static address during the asm shortcutting pass.

 While we already updated the data section accordingly this patch also
 extends this to the references stored in JMP_TBL.
