Fix an assertion failure like:
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:3: Internal error!
Assertion failure in append_insn at .../gas/config/tc-mips.c:7523.
Please report this bug.
triggered by assembling MIPS16 code like:
hello:
addiu $4, $4, 4
jr $31
with the generation of a listing file enabled, e.g.:
$ as -mips16 -O2 -aln=test.lst
The cause of the problem is the lack of support for moving instructions
across frags in MIPS16 jump swapping, which triggers more easily with
listing enabled as in that case every instruction gets placed in its own
frag. It would trigger even with listing disabled though if the
instruction to swap a MIPS16 jump with was unfortunately enough placed
as last in a frag that became full.
This scenario is already handled correctly with branch swapping in
regular MIPS and microMIPS code, so reuse it for MIPS16 code as well,
and now that all MIPS16 handling has become the same as the regular MIPS
and microMIPS cases remove MIPS16 special casing altogether.
This effectively complements:

merely noted our existing lack of support for MIPS16 jump swapping
across frags.
