[PATCH 0/13] [NDS32] Update and support more target features for the nds32 port

[Nelson Chu <nelson dot chu1990 at gmail dot com>]

Hi, binutils maintainers and developers,

Andes Technology has good news for you, we plan to update the nds32
port of binutils on upstream!
We have not only removed all unsupported and obsolete code, but also
supported lost of new features, including better link-time relaxations
and TLS implementations. Besides, the files generated by the newly
assembler and linker usually get higher performance and more optimized
code size.
