RISC-V: Improve li expansion for better code density.

li is a pseudo instruction in RISC-V, it might expand to more than one
instructions if the immediate value can't fit addi or lui, but the
assembler will always using 4-byte instructions during expansion.

For example:

 li a0, 0x12345001

will expand into

 12345537 lui a0,0x12345
 00150513 addi a0,a0,1

but addi could be compress into

 0505 addi a0,a0,1

It because load_const use macro_build to emit instructions,
and macro_build call append_insn, and expect it will compress
it if possible, but the fact is append_insn never compress anything,

So this patch redirect the li expansion flow to normal instruction
emission flow via md_assemble, added md_assemblef as an wrapper for
that for easier emit instruction with printf-style argument to build
instruction.

gas/ChangeLog:

	* tc-riscv.c (md_assemblef): New.
	(load_const) Use md_assemblef instead of macro_build to emit
	instructions.
	* testsuite/gas/riscv/li32.d: New.
	* testsuite/gas/riscv/li32.s: Ditto.
	* testsuite/gas/riscv/li64.d: Ditto.
	* testsuite/gas/riscv/li64.s: Ditto.
