MIPS/GAS: Simplify non-MIPS16 branch swapping sequence
Simplify non-MIPS16 branch swapping by copying the MIPS16 variant, which
sets the new position for the current instruction first and reduces the
calculation of the new position of the previous instruction. Also refer
to previous instruction's frag and position via `delay' for consistency.
Reintroduce an explanatory comment, updated, previously removed with:
