Option -mwarn_areg_zero for S/390.

["Martin Schwidefsky" <schwidefsky at de dot ibm dot com>]

Hi,
I recently added a warning to the S/390 assembler that is printed whenever
a specified base or index register is zero. That helped us to find some
critical bugs in the compiler. The background is that the general purpose
register 0 can't be used to address memory. I got several complaints about
these warnings and to make everybody happy I want to add a run-time option.
The default is not to print these messages and -mwarn_areg_zero enables
them.

ChangeLog for gas:

2001-09-19  Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

     * gas/config/tc-s390.c: Add option -mwarn_areg_zero.
