The constructs %hi() and %lo() represent the high and low 16
bits of the address.
Because the 16 bit offset field of an LW instruction is
interpreted as signed, if bit 15 of the low part is 1 then the
low part will act as a negative and 1 needs to be added to the
high part.

excluding visibility bits.
Mips specific standalone assembler directive "set at".
This directive changes the general purpose register
that the assembler will use when given the symbolic
register name $at.
This does not include negative testing. That will come
in a future patch.
A side affect of this patch recognizes the different
GPR register names for temporaries between old abi
and new abi so a test case for that is included.

.set option
The patch implements following options
at - lets the assembler use the $at register for macros,
but generates warnings if the source program uses $at
noat - let source programs use $at without issuingwarnings.
noreorder - prevents the assembler from reordering machine
language instructions.
nomacro - causes the assembler to print a warning whenever
an assembler operation generates more than one
machine language instruction.
macro - lets the assembler generate multiple machine instructions
from a single assembler instruction
reorder - lets the assembler reorder machine language
instructions to improve performance
The above variants are parsed and their boolean values set or unset.
The code to actually use them will come later.
Following options are not implemented yet:
nomips16
nomicromips
move
nomove

Actually these are just stubs for parsing the directives.
Semantic support will come later.
