Make writes to CP0.Status and CP0.Cause have the same effect as
executing corresponding MTC0 instructions would in Kernel Mode. Also
ignore writes in the user emulation mode.
Currently for requests from the GDB stub we write all the bits across
both registers, ignoring any read-only locations, and do not synchronise
the environment to evaluate side effects. We also write these registers
in the user emulation mode even though a real kernel presents them as
read only.

Correct these issues with the handling of CP0.Status for MIPSr6:
* only ignore the bit pattern of 0b11 on writes to CP0.Status.KSU, that
is for processors that do implement Supervisor Mode, let the bit
pattern be written to CP0.Status.UM:R0 freely (of course the value
written to read-only CP0.Status.R0 will be discarded anyway); this is
in accordance to the relevant architecture specification[1],
* check the newly written pattern rather than the current contents of
CP0.Status for the KSU bits being 0b11,
* use meaningful macro names to refer to CP0.Status bits rather than
magic numbers.

Backports commit f88f79ec9df06d26d84e1d2e0c02d2634b4d8583 from qemu
Restore the order of helpers that used to be: unary operations (generic,
then MIPS-specific), binary operations (generic, then MIPS-specific),
compare operations. At one point FMA operations were inserted at a
random place in the file, disregarding the preexisting order, and later
on even more operations sprinkled across the file. Revert the mess by
moving FMA operations to a new ternary class inserted after the binary
class and move the misplaced unary and binary operations to where they
belong.
Backports commit 8fc605b8aa257feb3e69d44794a765bd492b573b from qemu
Remove the `FLOAT_OP' macro, unused since commit
b6d96beda3a6cbf20a2d04a609eff78adebd8859 [Use temporary registers for
the MIPS FPU emulation.].
Backports commit 51fdea945ae7adae8d7e4a1624e35bb7f714b58f from qemu
Move the call to `update_fcr31' in `helper_float_cvtw_s' after the
exception flag check, for consistency with the remaining helpers that do
it last too.
