When reading string arguments for the assembler's string directives treat space separated strings as a single entity.
* read.c (stringer): Treat space separated, quote enclosed strings as a single string. * doc/as.texi (asciz): Mention this behaviour in the description of the asciz directive. * testsuite/gas/all/asciz.s: New test. * testsuite/gas/all/asciz.d: New test driver. * testsuite/gas/all/gas.exp: Run the new test.
