[mips] Add assembler support for the "la $reg,symbol" pseudo-instruction.
Summary:
This pseudo-instruction allows the programmer to load an address from a symbolic expression into a register.
Patch by David Chisnall.
His work was sponsored by: DARPA, AFRL
I've made some minor changes to the original, such as improving the formatting and adding some comments, and I've also added a test case.
