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.
