[patch] Arm branch locations and BLX conversion

The attached makes gas generate the new eabi branch relocations 
(R_ARM_CALL/R_ARM_JUMP24), and avoids the obsolete XPC25/THM_XPC22 
relocations.

It also implements BL<->BLX conversion for interworking of the CALL 
relocations.

I'm not entirely happy about having check_use_blx, but I couldn't find anyhere 
convenient to set globals->use_blx after elf32_arm_merge_eabi_attributes.

Tested with cross to arm-none-eabi.
Ok?
