Documentation for .arch_extension says it accepts the same architectural
extensions as those accepted by -mcpu. Given the name and the fact that
-march for obvious reason also accept the same extensions, I believe
it's worth mentioning that it accepts the same extensions as both
-march and -mcpu. This commit addresses that.

This patch adds support for the ARM Cortex-A55 and
Cortex-A75 processors.
The ARM Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A75 procsessors implement the ARMv8-A
architecture, with support for the ARMv8.1-A and ARMv8.2-A extensions,
including support for the 16-bit floating point extensions.
The 16-bit floating-point extensions are optional, and we haven't defined
an option mapping straight to them thus far, so this patch first needs to
add one of those in include/opcode/arm.h, then we can simply add the CPU names
as usual in config/tc-arm.c .
Tested on arm-none-eabi.

=== Context ===
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R
architecture. Its purpose is to add support for ARMv8-R in GAS:
instructions, build attributes and readelf.
=== Patch description ===
Although some differences exist for system registers, from GAS point of
view ARMv8-R supports the same instructions as ARMv8-A Aarch32 state
and a subset of its extensions. This patch therefore introduce a new
feature bit to distinguish the availability of the pan, ras and rdma
extensions between ARMv8-A and ARMv8-R and allow crypto, fp and simd
extensions to be used by ARMv8-R.
Most of the changes are then in the testsuite to (i) rename source files
and error output to be shared between ARMv8-A and ARMv8-R, (ii) rename
files with expected output for ARMv8-A build attributes and (iii) add
new files with expected output for ARMv8-R build attributes.

Nick pointed out that I hadn't documented the new -mfpu option
neon-vfpv3 and mentioned that some others were missing.
Having looked through the list only one (neon-fp16) really should be
documented; the other two entries in the real table should not be
documented as they are aliases kept for legacy compatibility reasons.
This patch adds the missing entries and notes in the main table that
the other two entries should not be documented.

To support thumb1 execute-only code we need to support four new
relocations (R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC, R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC,
R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC and R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC).
These relocations allow the static linker to finalize construction
of symbol address.
Typical sequence of code to get address of the symbol foo is then
the following :
movs r3, #:upper8_15:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:upper0_7:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:lower8_15:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:lower0_7:#foo
This will give following sequence of text and relocations after
assembly :
4: 2300 movs r3, #0
4: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC foo
6: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
8: 3300 adds r3, #0
8: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC foo
a: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
c: 3300 adds r3, #0
c: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC foo
e: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
10: 3300 adds r3, #0
10: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC foo
