Commit: PR 22773: Reject illegal immediate values for Thumb ORR instructions

Hi Guys,

  I am applying the patch below to fix a problem with the ARM
  assembler.  It was silently accepting an illegal immediate value for
  an ORR instruction, and converting it into a MOV instruction instead.
  The patch fixes this so that the assembler will now reject the invalid
  value.

Cheers
  Nick
