Reasoning behind this change was allowing the function to accept all values
from range [-128, 255] since all of them can be encoded in an 8bit wide
value.
This differs from the prior state where only range [-128, 127] was accepted,
where values were assumed to be signed, whereas now the actual
interpretation of the immediate is deferred to the consumer as required.

Removes immediate range checks for these instructions, since they have GPR
rt as their input operand.

This patch teaches clang to range check immediates for MIPS MSA instrinsics.
This checking is done strictly in comparison to some existing GCC
implementations. E.g. msa_andvi_b(var, 257) does not result in andvi $wX, 1.
Similarily msa_ldi_b takes a range of -128 to 127.
As part of this effort, correct the existing MSA test as it has both illegal
types and immediates.
