This patch adds support to the AArch64 back-end for the Cortex-A35
processor, as recently announced by ARM. The ARM Cortex-A35 provides
full support for the ARMv8-A architecture, including the CRC extension,
with optional Advanced-SIMD and Floating-Point support. We therefore set
feature flags for this CPU to AARCH64_ARCH_V8 and AARCH64_FEATURE_CRC, in
the same fashion as Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57.
Tested in a cross environment for AArch64 with no issues.

Back in the day support for these processors was added, we probably
didn't want to waste PPC_OPCODE bits on minor variations. I've had a
complaint that disassembly of mfspr/mtspr was wrong for power8. This
patch fixes that problem.
Note that since -m860/-m850/-m821 are new gas options enabling the
mpc8xx specific mfspr/mtspr variants it is possible that this change
will break some mpc8xx assembly code. ie. you might need to modify
makefiles to pass -m860 to gas.

This patch adds the ability to automatically construct a section name
based on the prior section.
When gas is invoked with --sectname-subst, the occurrence of %S in a
section name will be substituted by the name of the current section. For
example:
.macro exception_code
.pushsection %S.exception
[exception code here]
.popsection
.endm
.text
[code]
exception_code
[...]
.section .init
[init code]
exception_code
[...]
The first and second exception_code invocations create the
.text.exception and the .init.exception sections respectively. This is
useful e.g. to discriminate between anciliary sections that are tied to
.init code and can be discarded at run time when initialization is over
vs anciliary sections tied to .text sections that need to stay resident.

AMD64 spec and Intel64 spec differ in direct unconditional branches in
64-bit mode. AMD64 supports direct unconditional branches with 16-bit
offset via the data size prefix, which truncates RIP to 16 bits, while
the data size prefix is ignored by Intel64.
This patch adds -mamd64/-mintel64 option to x86-64 assembler and
-Mamd64/-Mintel64 option to x86-64 disassembler. The most permissive
ISA, which is AMD64, is the default.
GDB can add an option, similar to
(gdb) help set disassembly-flavor
Set the disassembly flavor.
The valid values are "att" and "intel", and the default value is "att".

This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler. By default,
assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option tells
the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
be preempted. The resulting code is slightly bigger. This option
only affects the handling of branch instructions.

On ELF target, the assembler normally generates code which can go into a
shared library where non-weak symbols can be preempted. The -mno-shared
option tells the assembler to generate code not for a shared library,
where non-weak symbols won't be preempted. The resulting code is slightly
smaller. This option mainly affects the handling of branch instructions.
