[PATCH 4/5] i386: Add -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries


Add -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries to enable

-malign-branch-boundary=32
-malign-branch=jcc+fused+jmp
-malign-branch-prefix-size=5

	* config/tc-i386.c (OPTION_MBRANCHES_WITH_32B_BOUNDARIES): New.
	(md_longopts): Add -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries.
	(md_parse_option): Handle -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries.
	(md_show_usage): Add -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries.
