This patch enables setting of breakpoints and disassembly for microMIPS applications running on bare-iron targets like IASim.

MIPS uses bit #0 (ISA bit) of an address for ISA mode (1 for microMIPS/MIPS16 and 0 for MIPS). The resulting address is called as compressed address when ISA bit is set. This allows processor to switch between microMIPS and MIPS without any need for special mode-control register. This bit is then cleared by the processor while fetching the instruction from memory. However, apart from .debug_line, none of the ELF/DWARF sections set the ISA bit. 

In this patch:
1)	The symbol table is recorded in the form of compressed address for microMIPS symbols, so that corresponding debug_line can be decoded properly.
2)	Memory read/write of compressed address has been handled
