[PATCH 14/23] aarch64: Make FPIMM0 qualifiers consistent
This patch addresses an inconsistency in the opcode table where two entries used QLF_S_H for the FPIMM0 operand, while the rest used QLF_NIL. By changing these two entries to also use QLF_NIL, the patch promotes consistency within the table, simplifying maintenance and reducing the risk of unexpected behavior due to the inconsistent qualifier. This change is purely for internal consistency and has no functional impact.
