ARM: 7311/1: Add generic instruction opcode manipulation helpers 

This patch adds some endianness-agnostic helpers to convert machine
instructions between canonical integer form and in-memory
representation.

A canonical integer form for representing instructions is also
formalised here.

/*
* Opcode byteswap helpers
*
* These macros help with converting instructions between a canonical integer
* format and in-memory representation, in an endianness-agnostic manner.
*
* __mem_to_opcode_*() convert from in-memory representation to canonical form.
* __opcode_to_mem_*() convert from canonical form to in-memory representation.
*
*
* Canonical instruction representation:
*
* ARM: 0xKKLLMMNN
* Thumb 16-bit: 0x0000KKLL, where KK < 0xE8
* Thumb 32-bit: 0xKKLLMMNN, where KK >= 0xE8
*
* There is no way to distinguish an ARM instruction in canonical representation
* from a Thumb instruction (just as these cannot be distinguished in memory).
* Where this distinction is important, it needs to be tracked separately.
*
* Note that values in the range 0x0000E800..0xE7FFFFFF intentionally do not
* represent any valid Thumb-2 instruction. For this range,
* __opcode_is_thumb32() and __opcode_is_thumb16() will both be false.
