[Patch 5/6] ARM attributes: attribute ordering

The ARM ABI specifies that Tag_conformance must always comes first (in
order to aid human readability of the binary), and that Tag_nodefaults
should come next (because it may influence the way the rest of the
attributes are read), in the output binary file. The rest of the
attributes may be in any order, I think, but they are always emitted in
numerical order (known attributes first, then unrecognised ones).

This patch does the reordering, and adds a test to the gas testsuite. It
is intended to be layered on top of my default values patch already posted.

OK?

Andrew
