Fix the handling of reserved bits in uncommon loads/stores
There's a pattern of load/store instructions that look something like * `ldr<variant> <target registers>, [<base register>, +/- <offset register>]` * `str<variant> <target registers>, [<base register>, +/- <offset register>]` These instructions share a common encoding format, which includes the presence of 4 reserved bits starting at bit 8 in the instruction word. These bits should always be zero, according to `DDI0406C_d_armv7ar_arm.pdf`. However, while this crate did attempt to validate these bits sometimes, the validation was inverted. Instead of checking that the bits were zero, the validation would raise an error if all of the bits were zero! Additionally, some instructions were missing the check and some instructions that did not use the aforementioned encoding scheme incorrectly had the check applied to them. This commit fixes all of the issues I've found along these lines so far.

thank you for the patches!
