Description
iced-x86 is x86/x86_64-only. Additionally, we've hit a few issues in it (see #697 & #921). For additional details and some reasoning around linear vs recursive etc., see https://github.com/microsoft/litebox/issues/500#issuecomment-3598462302

Research direction
Start by reading issues #697 and #921, then follow the linked LiteBox discussion for the reasoning about linear versus recursive approaches. Identify where iced-x86 is used and determine the replacement and migration scope. Done means the project no longer depends on iced-x86 while retaining the required architecture-related behavior.
