[PATCH v4] ARM: Add generic instruction opcode manipulation helpers

This patch adds some endianness-agnostic helpers to convert machine
instructions between canonical integer form and in-memory
representation.
A canonical integer form for representing instructions is also
formalised here.

Changes since v1:
v4: Rebase on top of Leif's patch which created <asm/opcodes.h>
ARM: 7206/1: Add generic ARM instruction set condition code checks.
No functional changes.
v3: Fix some stupid errors:
* remove bogus extra (x) in __opcode_to_mem_arm
* fix use of nonexistent "thumb_opcode" argument in
__opcode_thumb32_{first,second} which causes these
macros to be broken.
v2: Remove unnecessary typedef for arm_opcode_t.
The general "everything is a word" concept works just fine here --
we don't need a typedef, and people will probably not use it
anyway.
