opcodes: add new sub-mnemonic disassembler style
When adding libopcodes disassembler styling support for AArch64, it feels like the results would be improved by having a new sub-mnemonic style. This will be used in cases like: add w16, w7, w1, uxtb #2 ^^^^----- Here And: cinc w0, w1, ne ^^----- Here This commit just adds the new style, and prepares objdump to handle the style. A later commit will add AArch64 styling, and will actually make use of the style. As this style is currently unused, there should be no user visible changes after this commit.
