MIPS/BFD: Consistently mark the LSI CW4010 as a MIPS II processor

Make BFD agree with GAS and mark the LSI MiniRISC CW4010 processor core
(for an odd reason referred to as LSI R4010 across our code base) as a
MIPS II processor in BFD as well, fixing a bug that has been there since
forever and addressing linker warnings like:

$ as -m4010 empty.s -o 4010.o
$ ld -r 4010.o -o 4010-r.o
ld: 4010.o: warning: Inconsistent ISA between e_flags and .MIPS.abiflags
$

due to the ISA level being recorded as MIPS III in ELF file header's
`e_flags' vs MIPS II in the MIPS ABI Flags section:

$ readelf -Ah 4010.o

Available documentation[1][2] clearly indicates the LSI CW4010 processor
is only backwards compatible with the MIPS R4000 processor as far as the
latter's 32-bit instructions are concerned and consequently can only be
considered a MIPS II ISA implementation (with vendor extensions).

This fixes an LD testsuite failure:

FAIL: MIPS incompatible objects:  "-march=r4010 -32"      "-march=r4650 -32"

triggered for the `mips-sgi-irix5' and `mips-sgi-irix6' targets.
