[COMMITTED, BPF] gas: support .half, .word and .dword directives in eBPF

[jose dot marchesi at oracle dot com (Jose E. Marchesi)]

Hi people!

I just pushed the patch below to make the eBPF assembler to not assume
.word directives are 16-bit wide (ahem) and also to add support for
.half and .dword.

With these additions, we can settle in what I think is a nice set of
directives names that are coherent with the suffixes of the load/store
instructions in the instruction set.

Salud!

    gas: support .half, .word and .dword directives in eBPF
    
    This little patch adds support to the eBPF port of GAS for a few data
    directives.  The names for the directives have been chosen to be
    coherent with the suffixes used in eBPF instructions: b, h, w and dw
    for 8, 16, 32 and 64-bit values respectively.
    
    Documentation and tests included.
    Tested in a x86_64 host.
