Vasileios Kalintiris 1c78ca6a09 [mips] Remap move as or. ...

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
