py/asmx64: Support moving a 64-bit immediate to one of top 8 registers.

dpgeorge · dpgeorge · commit 3235b95f0877 · 2017-07-18T17:30:23.000+10:00
If constants (eg mp_const_none_obj) are placed in very high memory
locations that require 64-bits for the pointer then the assembler must be
able to emit instructions to move such pointers to one of the top 8
registers (ie r8-r15).
