I don't think we should accept `mipsel` here, and the comment about big-endian above feels confusing/misleading.

This switch is only for mapping arch names from the MS tool `/machine:` flags, to the corresponding `COFF::IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_*` values. I presume that no MS tool ever accepted `/machine:mipsel` right? Then we don't need that value here. And as all Windows/COFF MIPS was little-endian (I presume) we don't need claim anything to be big endian.

It's just that arch names in different namespaces can mean different things. In MS tools, `/machine:mips` unambiguously means little endian mips, while the corresponding thing in a triple is `mipsel-*`.
