x86: Don't pad .tfloat directive output
.tfloat output should always be 10 bytes without padding, independent of psABIs. In glibc, x86 assembly codes expect 10-byte .tfloat output. This also reduces .ds.x output and .tfloat output with hex input from 12 bytes to 10 bytes to match .tfloat output. PR gas/28230 * NEWS: Mention changes of .ds.x output and .tfloat output with hex input. * config/tc-i386.c (x86_tfloat_pad): Removed. * config/tc-i386.h (X_PRECISION_PAD): Changed to 0. (x86_tfloat_pad): Removed. * testsuite/gas/i386/fp.s: If NO_TFLOAT_PADDING isn't defined, add explicit paddings after .tfloat, .ds.x, .dc.x and .dcb.x directives. * testsuite/gas/i386/i386.exp (ASFLAGS): Append "--defsym NO_TFLOAT_PADDING=1" when running the fp test.
