    gas: scfi: untraceable control flow should be a hard error
    
    PR gas/31284
    
    Currently, if an indirect jump is seen, GCFG (a CFG of ginsns) cannot be
    created, and the SCFI machinery bails out with a warning:
      "Warning: Untraceable control flow for func 'foo'; Skipping SCFI"
    
    It is, however, better suited if this is a hard error.  Change it to a
    hard error.  Also change the message to skip mentioning "SCFI", because
    the error itself may also useful when ginsns are used for other passes
    (distinct from SCFI) involving GCFG, like a pass to detect if there is
    unreachable code.  Hence, simply say:
      "Error: untraceable control flow for func 'foo'"
