Subject: [PATCH] Build: Explicitly disable spectre mitigations

Mitigations-off gave a roughly 20-25% boost in performance on my laptop
(i7-7700HQ), even with the recompiler.

It seems AppVeyor was building with them enabled. You shouldn't treat an
emulator like a sandbox and run untrusted code in it amyway.
