add avgadd DRAFT instruction

I fixed minu[.] to actually be unsigned:
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=commitdiff;h=2f9891616d1a251bbb83b1ab29da7040258847ab

i noticed absdu does signed comparison instead of unsigned, either that needs to be changed to unsigned (and probably renamed to absdiffu) or the name changed to absdiff (not absd since imho that would be interpreted as absolute value dword, not absolute difference).

i'm not sure which one you wanted, so i'll let you change it. imho we probably want both of them as separate instructions.

also, imho the absadd* instructions should be renamed to addabsdiff* since they add the absolute differences, not take the absolute value of addition.

doh.

yes, that comes from VSX, although i must re-read the page,
despite there being a ">u" operator people do insist on using
the wrong one then saying "but read the english words", sigh.

need to keep mnemonics short.

like it. absds. have to find space.  grev* needs to go, replace with grevlut.
really running out.

too long a mnemonic. abssadd absuadd. hmm

not confusing is more important than shortness...how about absdd -- abs diff dword -- specifically to avoid confusion with abs dword. or maybe asub -- abs(sub(ra, rb)) (with sub not overflowing).

addasub[u][.] :) -- add(rt, abs(sub(ra, rb)))

yep. asub. short. nice.
