Simon Dardis 303c180199 [MIPS] Initial support for MIPS-I load delay slots
LLVM so far has only supported the MIPS-II and above architectures. MIPS-II is pretty close to MIPS-I, the major difference
being that "load" instructions always take one extra instruction slot to propogate to registers. This patch adds support for
MIPS-I by adding hazard handling for load delay slots, alongside MIPSR6 forbidden slots and FPU slots, inserting a NOP
instruction between a load and any instruction immediately following that reads the load's destination register. I also
included a simple regression test. Since no existing tests target MIPS-I, those all still pass.

Issue ref: https://github.com/simias/psx-sdk-rs/issues/1

I also tested by building a simple demo app with Clang and running it in an emulator.
