Summary:
The backend has no reason to behave like a driver and should generally do
as it's told (and error out if it can't) instead of trying to figure out
what the API user meant. The default ABI is still derived from the arch
component as a concession to backwards compatibility.
API-users that previously passed an explicit CPU and a triple that was
inconsistent with the CPU (e.g. mips-linux-gnu and mips64r2) may get a
different ABI to what they got before. However, it's expected that there
are no such users on the basis that CodeGen has been asserting that the
triple is consistent with the selected ABI for several releases. API-users
that were consistent or passed '' or 'generic' as the CPU will see no
difference.

Alias 'jic $reg, 0' to 'jrc $reg' and 'jialc $reg, 0' to 'jalrc $reg' like
binutils.
This patch was previous committed as r266055 as seemed to have caused some spurious
test failures. They did not reappear after further local testing.

This patch adds support for compact jumps similiar to the previous compact
branch support for MIPSR6. Unlike compact branches, compact jumps do not
have a forbidden slot.
As MipsInstrInfo::getEquivalentCompactForm can determine the correct
expansion for jumps and branches for both microMIPS and MIPSR6, remove the
unnecessary distinction in the delay slot filler.

Summary:
MIPSR6 introduces a class of branches called compact branches. Unlike the
traditional MIPS branches which have a delay slot, compact branches do not
have a delay slot. The instruction following the compact branch is only
executed if the branch is not taken and must not be a branch.
It works by generating compact branches for MIPS32R6 when the delay slot
filler cannot fill a delay slot. Then, inspecting the generated code for
forbidden slot hazards (a compact branch with an adjacent branch or other
CTI) and inserting nops to clear this hazard.
