Add --identify-strict option. Handle ms-style implibs:
* dlltool.c (file scope): Added new globals identify_ms and identify_strict. New typedef dll_name_list_type, and globals identify_dll_name_list_head and identify_dll_name_list_tail. Added new global identify_member_contains_symname_result. (identify_append_dll_name_to_list): New function. (identify_count_dll_name_list): New function. (identify_print_dll_name_list): New function. (identify_free_dll_name_list): New function. (identify_search_archive): Changed signature to take function pointer to operation to apply to each member, and data to pass on to that function. (identify_search_member): Changed signature to accept user data from caller. (identify_member_contains_symname): New function. (identify_dll_for_implib): Rewrite. Now determines whether implib is ms- or binutils- style, before searching sections for dllname. Allows multiple dllnames. (identify_process_section_p): Search alternate section for dllname when implib is ms-style. (identify_search_section): Add additional conditions to excludes candidate sections from consideration. (usage): Added --identify-strict. (long_options): Added --identify-strict.

* Add new option --use-nul-prefixed-import-tables to dlltool to allow fall-
back to old import table generation with null element prefix.
+* Added --identify-strict switch to cause --identify <implib> to
+ report an error when the import library is associated with
+ multiple DLLs.
+
+* Added --identify <implib> option to dlltool, which determines the
+ name of the DLL associated with the specified <implib>.

* Support for PowerPC booke64 instructions has been removed. The assembler no
longer accepts -mbooke32 or -mbooke64 and the disassembler no longer accepts
-Mbooke32 or -Mbooke64. Instead, -mbooke and -Mbooke should be used.
