ar: Add --thin for creating thin archives
In many ar implementations (FreeBSD, elfutils, etc), -T has the X/Open

not recommended for portability. -T is deprecated without diagnostics.
PR binutils/28759
* ar.c (long_options): Add --thin.
(usage) Add --thin. Deprecate -T without diagnostics.
* doc/binutils.texi: Add doc.
* NEWS: Mention --thin.
* binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/ar.exp: Add tests.
