bfd_check_format: ignore errors from coff_real_object_p
Since 1993-11-05 git commit c188b0bec3b, bfd_check_format has failed if any of the target object_p functions returns false with any error but bfd_error_wrong_format. That's just weird. There is really no reason why coff_real_object_p should be fixed to only return that error instead of numerous other possible errors. Even an out of memory condition for one target doesn't necessarily mean other targets can't match, assuming the failing target nicely returns all memory it might have used. * format.c (bfd_check_format_matches): Ignore bfd_error on target match failures. Don't init to bfd_error_wrong_format before calling _bfd_check_format.

* vms-alpha.c (_bfd_vms_push, _bfd_vms_pop): Return pass/fail
status rather than exiting on stack overflow or underflow.
(_bfd_vms_slurp_etir): Adjust to suit.
