Various m68k fixes for gdb
Recently I tried the m68k port of gdb. It had some issues, which are
fixed in this patch.
* Various types of return values were not being handled properly. In
particular:
* arrays are returned by following the same convention as
structures. This matters in languages like Ada, where an array
can in fact be returned as a value.
* "long double" was not being handled correctly in
m68k_svr4_return_value.
* GCC's m68k back end does not return vector types in registers, so
change gdb to follow.
* GCC's m68k back end doesn't faithfully implement the ABI, and so
some objects with unusual size (not possible in C, but possible in
Ada) are not returned correctly.
* gcc implements an m68k ABI variant that it simply describes as
"embedded". This ABI is similar to the SVR4 ABI, but rather than
returning pointer-typed values in %a0, such values are returned in
%d0. To support this, an ELF osabi sniffer is added.
* Commit 85f7484a ("m68k: tag floating-point ABI used") adds an
attribute that can be used to recognize when hard- or soft-float is
in use. gdb can now read this tag and choose the ABI accordingly.
I was unable to run the gdb test suite with this patch. Instead, I
tested it using qemu and the internal AdaCore test suite.

(m68k_return_value): Handle arrays.
(m68k_svr4_return_value): Fix single-element aggregate handling.
Handle long double. Adjust for embedded ABI.
(m68k_svr4_init_abi): Set pointer_result_regnum.
(m68k_embedded_init_abi): New function.
(m68k_gdbarch_init): Handle Tag_GNU_M68K_ABI_FP.
