Summary:
This patch remaps the assembly idiom 'move' to 'or' instead of 'daddu' or
'addu'. The use of addu/daddu instead of or as move was highlighted as a
performance issue during the analysis of a recent 64bit design. Originally
move was encoded as 'or' by binutils but was changed for the r10k cpu family
due to their pipeline which had 2 arithmetic units and a single logical unit,
and so could issue multiple (d)addu based moves at the same time but only 1
logical move.
This patch preserves the disassembly behaviour so that disassembling a old style
(d)addu move still appears as move, but assembling move always gives an or

The tests for the ISA's should now be approximately diffable. That is, the
output of 'diff valid-mips1.txt valid-mips2.txt' should be emit the lines
for instructions that were added/removed to/from MIPS-I by MIPS-II. This
doesn't work perfectly at the moment due to ordering differences but it
should be close.
