The general rule for bfd_arch_info_type->compatible (A, B) is that if A and B
are compatible, then this function should return architecture that is more
"feature-rich", that is, can run both A and B. ARCv2, EM and HS all has same
mach number, so bfd_default_compatible assumes they are the same, and returns
an A. That causes issues with GDB, because GDB assumes that if machines are
compatible, then "compatible ()" always returns same machine regardless of
argument order. As a result GDB gets confused because, for example,
compatible(ARCv2, EM) returns ARCv2, but compatible(EM, ARCv2) returns EM,
hence GDB is not sure if they are compatible and prints a warning.

cpu-arc.c (arc_compatible): New function.
ARC600 is already defined as the head of the bfd_arch_arc.

* cpu-arc.c (arch_info_struct): Remove duplicate ARC600 entry.
In the ARC assembler, when a cpu type is specified using the .cpu
directive, we rely on the bfd list of arc machine types in order to
validate the cpu name passed in.
This validation is only used in order to check that the cpu type passed
to the .cpu directive matches any machine type selected earlier on the
command line. Once that initial check has passed a full check is
performed using the assemblers internal list of know cpu types.
The problem is that the assembler knows about more cpu types than bfd,
some cpu types known by the assembler are actually aliases for a base
cpu type plus a specific set of assembler extensions. One such example
is NPS400, though more could be added later.
This commit removes the need for the assembler to use the bfd list of
machine types for validation. Instead the error checking, to ensure
that any value passed to a '.cpu' directive matches any earlier command
line selection, is moved into the function arc_select_cpu.
I have taken the opportunity to bundle the 4 separate static globals
that describe the currently selected machine type into a single
structure (called selected_cpu).

This commit introduces the nps400 machine type as a variant of arc.
There's a new flag in the assembler to select this machine type. All
other changes are just adding handling of the new machine type into the
relevant places.
The nps400 is an arc700 variant with some vendor specific instructions
added into the instruction set. This commit does not add any of the new
instructions, this is just laying the groundwork for future commits.
However, in preparation for these new instructions a new opcode define for
nps400 has been added to include/opcode/arc.h, this new opcode define is
used in the assembler and disassembler along with the existing define
for arc700 such that when assembling and disassembling for nps400 the
user will have access to all arc700 instructions and all the nps400
vendor extension instructions.

o bfd_read and bfd_write lose an unnecessary param and become
bfd_bread and bfd_bwrite.
o bfd_*alloc now all take a bfd_size_type arg, and will error if
size_t is too small. eg. 32 bit host, 64 bit bfd, verrry big files
or bugs in linker scripts etc.
o file_ptr becomes a bfd_signed_vma. Besides matching sizes with
various other types involved in handling sections, this should make
it easier for bfd to support a 64 bit off_t on 32 bit hosts that
provide it.
o I've made the H_GET_* and H_PUT_* macros (which invoke bfd_h_{get,put}_*)
generally available. They now cast their args to bfd_vma and
bfd_byte * as appropriate, which removes a swag of casts from the
source.
o Bug fixes to bfd_get8, aix386_core_vec, elf32_h8_relax_section, and
aout-encap.c.
o Zillions of formatting and -Wconversion fixes.
