python script skeleton to estimate compression for a given insn selection

This script is a skeleton to experiment with the selection of insns for
compressed encoding, so far only supporting the 8-bit nop switching, just
because I thought it was easier to model.  

Next, I'll improve/rewrite mode switching and selection insns to use 10-bit
maybe-switch insns, and 16-bit insns that switch out of compressed mode for 1
or n insns, or remain in compressed mode with or without an extra 16-bit
immediate.  Wish me luck ;-)
