[PATCH v4 11/12] RISC-V: add helpers for handling immediates in U-type and I-type pairs

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner at vrull.eu>

Used together U-type and I-type instructions can for example be used to
generate bigger jumps (i.e. in auipc+jalr pairs) by splitting the value
into an upper immediate (i.e. auipc) and a 12bit immediate (i.e. jalr).

Due to both immediates being considered signed this creates some corner
cases, so add some helper to prevent this from getting duplicated in
different places.
