On 32-bit ARM platforms, the register `r14` has the alias `lr`. When used as an output register in `asm!`, rustc canonicalizes the name to `r14`. LLVM only knows the register by the name `lr`, and rejects it. This changes rustc's LLVM code generation to output `lr` instead.
Preparation for a subsequent change that replaces
rustc_target::config::Config with its wrapped Target.
On its own, this commit breaks the build. I don't like making
build-breaking commits, but in this instance I believe that it
makes review easier, as the "real" changes of this PR can be
seen much more easily.

This patch also:
* Add soft-float supports: only f32
* zero-extend i8/i16 to i32 because MIPS only supports register-length
arithmetic.
* Update table in asm! chapter in unstable book.
