CIE return address register

=== BACKGROUND
The description of the return_address_register in section 6.4.1 specifies
that
a "ubyte" constant represents the column in the rule table. To my knowledge
this is the only place a ubyte is used instead of a uleb128.
=== PROPOSAL
Change the description to:
7. return_address_register
A uleb128 constant that indicates which column in the rule table
represents the
return address of the function. Note that this column might not
correspond to an
actual machine register.
