internal/simdgen: fix imm aux types and change documentation

The correct Aux type for immediates of SIMD instruction is uint8(signed
value will be rejected by the assembler). This CL fixes it.

Since we generate a jump table for non-const immediates now, this CL
also updates the documentation.

This CL partially generates CL 694395.
