MIPS16e2: Add MIPS16e2 ASE support
Add MIPS16e2 ASE support as per the architecture specification[1], including in particular: 1. A new ELF ASE flag to mark MIPS16e2 binaries. 2. MIPS16e2 instruction assembly support, including a relaxation update to use LUI rather than an LI/SLL instruction pair for loading the high part of 32-bit addresses. 3. MIPS16e2 instruction disassembly support, including updated rules for extended forms of instructions that are now subdecoded and therefore do not alias to the original MIPS16 ISA revision instructions even for encodings that are not valid in the MIPS16e2 instruction set. Add `-mmips16e2' and `-mno-mips16e2' GAS command-line options and their corresponding `mips16e2' and `no-mips16e2' settings for the `.set' and `.module' pseudo-ops. Control the availability of the MT ASE subset of the MIPS16e2 instruction set with a combination of these controls and the preexisting MT ASE controls. Parts of this change by Matthew Fortune and Andrew Bennett.
