    MIPS: Correct HI/LO rela reloc howto special_function entries
    
    The patch corrects the mips16 and micromips rela tables to *not*
    use _bfd_mips_elf_{hi,lo}16_reloc.  These special functions are
    inappropriate for RELA relocs where addends are in the reloc rather
    than in the section contents.  See corresponding rela R_MIPS howtos.
    
    bfd/
            * elf64-mips.c (mips16_elf64_howto_table_rela)
            <R_MIPS16_HI16, R_MIPS16_LO16>: Use _bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc
            special_function.
            (micromips_elf64_howto_table_rela)
            <R_MICROMIPS_HI16, R_MICROMIPS_LO16>: Similarly.
            * elfn32-mips.c: As for elf64-mips.c.
