VLE 16A and 16D relocs were functionally swapped.

R_PPC_VLE_SDAREL_HI16A, R_PPC_VLE_SDAREL_HI16D,
R_PPC_VLE_SDAREL_HA16A, and R_PPC_VLE_SDAREL_HA16D relocs.
(ppc_elf_link_hash_table_create): Update default_params init.
(ppc_elf_vle_split16): Correct shift and mask. Add params.
Report or fix insn/reloc mismatches.

to ppc_elf_vle_split16.
binutils/
* NEWS: Mention PowerPC VLE relocation error.
gas/
* config/tc-ppc.c: Delete VLE insn defines.
(md_assemble): Swap use_a_reloc and use_d_reloc.
