MIPS: Introduce accessors for MSA vector registers
Introduce accessor functions allowing the kernel to access arbitrary
vector registers using an arbitrary data format. The accessors are
implemented in assembly, using macros to avoid massive duplication, in
order to make use of the existing support for MSA with & without
toolchain support. The accessors will be used in a later patch.
