MIPS/BFD: Add microMIPS annotation to LA25 stub symbols

Fix a problem with missing microMIPS symbol annotation with microMIPS
LA25 stub symbols.  The consequence of the issue is these symbols appear
in the symbol table as regular MIPS symbols with the ISA bit set, as
shown with the example below:

$ cat la25a.s
	.abicalls

	.global	f1
	.ent	f1
f1:
	.set	noreorder
	.cpload	$25
	.set	reorder
	.option	pic0
	jal	f2
	.option	pic2
	jr	$31
	.end	f1

	.global	f2
	.ent	f2
f2:
	jr	$31
	.end	f2
$ cat la25b.s
	.abicalls
	.option	pic0

	.global	__start
	.ent	__start
__start:
	jal	f1
	jal	f2
	.end	__start
$ as -mmicromips -32 -EB -o la25a.o la25a.s
$ as -mmicromips -32 -EB -o la25b.o la25b.s
$ ld -melf32btsmip -o la25 la25a.o la25b.o
$ readelf -s la25

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 18 entries:
   Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name

where microMIPS annotation is missing for `.pic.f1' and `.pic.f2' even
though these stubs are associated with microMIPS functions `f1' and `f2'
respectively.

Add the missing annotation then, by copying it from the function symbol
an LA25 stub is associated with, correcting the example above:

$ readelf -s la25

This problem has been there since the beginning of microMIPS support:
