PE+ and new COFF format for x86_64 target for XP64 and Vista binaries

[Kai Tietz <Kai dot Tietz at onevision dot com>]

Hallo,

This is a port of binutils-2.17 for COFF-format x86-64 (AMD64) and the PE+ 
for Windows XP64 and Vista EXE/DLL. The target is named x86_64-pc-mingw64. 
I enabled windres and dlltool for this target. For the tool objdump the 
processing and printing methods for DLL-imports are adjusted (they are now 
8 bytes long :( )

I made a copy of the pe_dll(.c&.h) as pep_dll(.c&.h) to minimize 
intersections. May these files can be merged.

In the "include/coff/external.h" I introduced the proper PE+ external 
aouthdr structure without the data_start member. Because this non-existing 
member breaks the
size of the PEPAOUT structure in include/coff/pe.h.

For the bfd/pexxigen.c template I used the pex64 name alias for 
generation.

I added the following new files:
        bfd/coff-x86_64.c
        bfd/pe-x86_64.c
        bfd/pei-x86_64.c
        gas/config/te-pep.h
        include/coff/x86_54.h
        ld/pep_dll.c
        ld/pep_dll.h
        ld/emulparams/i386pep.sh
        ld/emultempl/pep.em
        ld/scripttempl/pep.sc


I tested the ld of this target by MSVC object-files and by (a patched) gcc 
object-files (using this gas) linking against MS-Runtime-libraries.
