bors c97922dca5 Auto merge of #99443 - jam1garner:mips-virt-feature, r=nagisa 
Add support for MIPS VZ ISA extension

[Link to relevant LLVM line where virt extension is specified](83fab8cee9/llvm/lib/Target/Mips/Mips.td (L172-L173))

This has been tested on mips-unknown-linux-musl with a target-cpu that is >= MIPS32 5 and `target-features=+virt`. The example was checked in a disassembler to ensure the correct assembly sequence was being generated using the virtualization instructions.

Needed additional work:

* MIPS is missing from [the Rust reference CPU feature lists](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/attributes/codegen.html#available-features)

Example docs for later:

```md
#### `mips` or `mips64`

This platform requires that `#[target_feature]` is only applied to [`unsafe`
functions][unsafe function]. This target's feature support is currently unstable
and must be enabled by `#![feature(mips_target_feature)]` ([Issue #44839])

[Issue #44839]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44839

Further documentation on these features can be found in the [MIPS Instruction Set
Reference Manual], or elsewhere on [mips.com].

Feature        | Implicitly Enables | Description
---------------|--------------------|-------------------
`fp64`         |                    | 64-bit Floating Point
`msa`          |                    | "MIPS SIMD Architecture"
`virt`         |                    | Virtualization instructions (VZ ASE)
```

If the above is good I can also submit a PR for that if there's interest in documenting it while it's still unstable. Otherwise that can be dropped, I just wrote it before realizing it was possibly not a good idea.
