[Geany] filedefs.asm for mips isa

[Jason Oster]

Unfortunately, the ASM lexer in Scintilla does not support  
customizable comments. But you can make a modification to add # as a  
comment char. It's in LexASM.cxx

Coloring labels would also require changes to the lexer to support  
this, as far as I know. After adding a "label" style, then you would  
have to change Geany to give the new "label" style its color and font  
attributes.
