[PATCH] add directive to enter/leave alternate macro mode

[Jan Beulich]

I made the option all lower case first, but that collides with the
listing options (-a...) due to gas allowing long options to be preceeded
by either a double or a single dash. Prior to posting an update, I'd be
glad to get some advice as to how to proceed here... Thanks, Jan

The option name should be "--alternate".  Long option names are all
lower case, except for compatibility purposes.  This affects the code
and docs.

Please add a short entry to gas/NEWS mentioning the new option and
pseudo-ops.

With those changes, this patch is OK.  Thanks.
