[MIPS] Don't assert when attempting to expand ld/sd macro with symbol reference

Summary

Previously we would assert when handling an expression like sd $2, SYMBOL
because the MipsAsmParser::expandLoadStoreDMacro() assummes input in the
form of sd $2, offset($1).

GAS actually accepts this syntax. Rather than rejecting it, we could improve the parser to accept symbols for this macro.

GAS expands the macro like so for static:

   0:	3c010000 	lui	at,0x0
			0: R_MIPS_HI16	fenvp
   4:	ac260000 	sw	a2,0(at)
			4: R_MIPS_LO16	fenvp
   8:	ac270004 	sw	a3,4(at)

and for PIC:

   0:	8f810000 	lw	at,0(gp)
			0: R_MIPS_GOT16	fenvp
   4:	ac260000 	sw	a2,0(at)
   8:	ac270004 	sw	a3,4(at)

If you look at parseMemOperand, you'll see some special handling for la and dla, and some generic handling which produces a operand which becomes malformed when rendered. (It's supposed to be register zero but it isn't). If the operand was parsed+rendered properly, the expansion for SDMacro and LDMacro could be extended to generate the initial offset in $at.

Could you take a look at that approach?

I had a quick look at this but it is not entirely clear to me what parseMemOperand() should be creating in the case of a symbol reference. It gives a MCSymbolReference which should be correct? Or do I need to convert it to a Mips specific expression?

I also noticed that the sd, sw operations with a symbol reference produce wrong values when used in N64: They only give one %hi/%lo which might not be enough to address the target symbol (this is actually the real issue I was investigating when I found this crash).

Return an immediate like la and dla do, then provide a pseudo instruction like SDMacro / LDMacro that takes a register and an 'i32imm' operand.

Match the new macro instructions in MipsAsmParser::tryExpandInstruction, and provide an equivalent to expandLoadStoreDMacro that handles immediate operands. You'll need to provide several instructions like this to match the GPR64Opnd case for N32 and GP64Opnd+64 bit immediate/symbol case for N64. The expansions can all be handled together.

As for the issue you're investigating, it's MipsTargetStreamer::emitLoadWithSymOffset that is requires extensions for N64.

Not planning to continue working on this.
