gas: sparc: allow ASR registers in the 0..31 range in V9 and later
In the SPARC V9 (and later) versions of the SPARC specification, the
section C.1.1 "Register Names" specifies that:
"asr_reg. An asr_reg is an Ancillary State Register name. It may have
one of the following values:
%asr16-%asr31"
The rationale of having this restriction was that the registers from 16
to 31 are reserved to implementations, and are therefore "non-V9". It
also assumes that the existing ASR registers in the range 0..31 will
have their own names such as %y, that can be used to access such
registers.
However, this is problematic. When a new ASR register is introduced,
such as %mcdper a.k.a. %asr14, it is useful to be able to use %asr14 in
order to not depend on the latest version of the assembler.
The Solaris assembler is lax and allows to assembly instructions
referring to %asr0 to %asr31. This patch makes the GNU assembler to
mimic that behavior.

registers to be in the 16..31 range.
