[PATCH 10/13] RISC-V: Add support for literal instruction arguments

From: Christoph Müllner <christoph.muellner@vrull.eu>

This patch introduces support for arbitrary literal instruction
arguments, that are not encoded in the opcode.

A typical use case for this feature would be an instruction that
applies an implicit shift by a constant value on an immediate
(that is a real operand). With this patch it is possible to make
this shift visible in the dissasembly and support such artificial
parameter as part of the asssembly code.
