Backport of #11986

Contribution description

A note says "The nomips16 attribute should not really be needed,
it works around a toolchain issue in 2016.05-03."

In fact, in 2018.09-03, the attribute leads to this error:

cpu/mips32r2_common/thread_arch.c:191:1: error: ‘_mips_handle_exception’ redeclared with conflicting ‘nomips16’ attributes

This this commit removes the attribute.

Testing procedure

Successful build and basic test on any mips32r2 board should suffice.

Issues/PRs references

Needed for RIOT-OS/riotdocker#76

The workaround for an old toolchain issue should only be applied with the old toolchain.
This is also valid for the stable release - no side effects are to be expected.
