MIPS: Add helpers for assembler macro instructions

Implement a parse_r assembler macro in asm/mipsregs.h to parse a
register in $n form, and a few C macros for defining assembler macro
instructions. These can be used to more transparently support older
binutils versions which don't support for example the msa, virt, xpa, or
crc instructions.

In particular they overcome the difficulty of turning a register name in
$n form into an instruction encoding suitable for giving to .word /
.hword, which is particularly problematic when needed from inline
assembly where the compiler is responsible for register allocation.
Traditionally this had required the use of $at and an extra MOV
instruction, but for CRC instructions with multiple GP register operands
that approach becomes more difficult.

Three assembler macro creation helpers are added:

 - _ASM_MACRO_0(OP, ENC)
   This is to define an assembler macro for an instruction which has no
   operands, for example the VZ TLBGR instruction.

 - _ASM_MACRO_2R(OP, R1, R2, ENC)
   This is to define an assembler macro for an instruction which has 2
   register operands, for example the CFCMSA instruction.

 - _ASM_MACRO_3R(OP, R1, R2, R3, ENC)
   This is to define an assembler macro for an instruction which has 3
   register operands, for example the crc32 instructions.

 - _ASM_MACRO_2R_1S(OP, R1, R2, SEL3, ENC)
   This is to define an assembler macro for a Cop0 move instruction,
   with 2 register operands and an optional register select operand
   which defaults to 0, for example the VZ MFGC0 instruction.

+ * parse_r var, r - Helper assembler macro for parsing register names.
+ *
+ * This converts the register name in $n form provided in \r to the
+ * corresponding register number, which is assigned to the variable \var. It is
+ * needed to allow explicit encoding of instructions in inline assembly where
+ * registers are chosen by the compiler in $n form, allowing us to avoid using
+ * fixed register numbers.
+ *
+ * It also allows newer instructions (not implemented by the assembler) to be
+ * transparently implemented using assembler macros, instead of needing separate
+ * cases depending on toolchain support.
+ *
+ * Simple usage example:
+ * __asm__ __volatile__("parse_r __rt, %0\n\t"
+ *			".insn\n\t"
+ *			"# di    %0\n\t"
+ *			".word   (0x41606000 | (__rt << 16))"
+ *			: "=r" (status);
