MIPSTables.cpp has walked a tree of tables on every single interpreted
instruction since forever, with a standing TODO asking for exactly this:
"generate smart dispatcher functions from above tables instead of this
slow method." GenerateInterpreterDispatch() does that - it walks the
same tables MIPSGetInstruction() walks at runtime, but resolves the
walk into a nested switch tree once, at generation time, with each
leaf calling straight into the existing MIPSInt::Int_* handlers and
returning that instruction's fixed cycle count. Anything not covered
(invalid opcodes, and the handful of instructions with no interpreter
implemented at all, e.g. tge/tlt/teq) falls back to the existing
MIPSInterpret()/MIPSGetInstructionCycleEstimate() slow path, so the
result is total over all 32-bit inputs, same as the table-walking path.
Wired up via a new headless --generate-interpreter-dispatch flag,
which prints the generated Core/MIPS/InterpreterDispatch.cpp source to
stdout and exits.
Also widens CmdLine.cpp's --help column formatting, which silently
truncated any option name longer than 24 characters - the new option's
name was the first to hit it.
