ppc476 gas: warn on data in code sections


This adds a --ppc476-workaround option to gas, which will cause gas to
emit a warning whenever data is emitted to code sections except for
cases that ld --ppc476-workaround detects.  Even on cases that ld does
detect, a warning will be emitted if the data isn't immediately
preceded by an unconditional branch to ensure that instruction
prefetch doesn't run over the end of a page.
    
    	* config/tc-ppc.c (warn_476, last_insn, last_seg, last_subseg):
    	New static vars.
    	(md_longopts, md_parse_option, md_show_usage): Add --ppc476-workaround.
    	(ppc_elf_cons_fix_check): New function.
    	(md_assemble): Set last_insn, last_seg, last_subseg.
    	(ppc_byte, md_apply_fix): Handle warn_476.
    	* config/tc-ppc.h (TC_CONS_FIX_CHECK): Define.
    	(ppc_elf_cons_fix_check): Declare.
    	* read.c (cons_worker): Invoke TC_CONS_FIX_CHECK.
