Implement methods that enable expansion of load immediate

macro instruction (li) in the assembler.

We have identified three possible expansions depending on 
the size of immediate operand:
  1) for 0 ≤ j ≤ 65535.
     li d,j =>
     ori d,$zero,j

  2) for −32768 ≤ j < 0.
     li d,j =>
     addiu d,$zero,j

  3) for any other value of j that is representable as a 32-bit integer.
     li d,j =>
     lui d,hi16(j)
     ori d,d,lo16(j)

All of the above have been implemented in ths patch.
