RFC: Keep 5 yr. old hack for MIPS16 on disassembler code

[Fernando Nasser]

This hack was added 5+yrs ago to fix disassembler printing for MIPS16.  The 
instruction disassembler code itself is unaware of that -- the hack is only for 
the address that is printed in front of the instructions.

This horrible macro is only defined for these MIPS16 machines, it is not a 
general architecture macro (which would be transformed into a multiarch 
function), so the ifdef.

I have filled the bug  gdb/773 asking for these macros to be replaced by 
something cleaner.  But I don't know enough about mips16 to do anything about it 
and if I leave this out of the code I will break that target.  So I will have to 
  add it to the new disassembler code in disasm.c (this hack was on the old code 
on printcmd.c) -- see attached patch.

I will check it in soon (unless someone fixes 773 first).
