This patch changes several *installed* MIPS headers. As per
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-03/msg00293.html> and thread,
we need to limit installed headers to pure ASCII so they work for
compilations with any -finput-charset= setting. So please revert the
changes to sysdeps/mips/fpu_control.h, sysdeps/mips/regdef.h,
sysdeps/mips/sgidefs.h, sysdeps/mips/sys/asm.h, sysdeps/mips/sys/regdef.h
and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/user.h, or add the contributors in
question to contrib.texi and remove the Contributed by lines from the
headers.
