[commit] Use RETURN_VALUE_ABI_PRESERVE_ADDRESS


This makes (32-bit) SPARC use RETURN_VALUE_ABI_PRESERVE_ADDRESS like
it was intended when that was addid to enum return_value_convention.

Committed.

Index: ChangeLog
from  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* sparc-tdep.c (sparc32_return_value): Convert to use
	RETURN_VALUE_ABI_PRESERVES_ADDRESS instead of
	RETURN_VALUE_STRUCT_CONVENTION.
	(sparc32_extract_struct_value_address): Remove.
