Re: [m68k] cleanup arch/cpu selection

This patch implements -march= and -mcpu= options to m68k's
assembler.  It also adds a set of -m[no-]foo extension switches.  In
addition I've rationalized the coldfire bfd_mach enumeration to work
along the lines of architectural features, rather than chip
numbering -- there's an ever increasing number of chips.  I've kept
the old machine names and old assembler switches for compatibility.


This seems like a sensible proposal to me, however please ensure that
for the time being, the old-style command line options continue to be
supported.  If you like, you could emit a warning and advise the user
of the new options.  I really dislike seeing users left to work out
why their Makefiles have stopped working when they upgrade binutils.

This is the patch I've committed. It addresses Andreas's concern about the EF_ flags. In doing so I discovered I'd missed a piece of readelf, which needed adjusting.
