Committed: h8300: Issue a warning for new sections created without attributes

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  I am applying the patch below to add a feature to the H8300 port of
  GAS.  If a new section is created without specifying any attributes
  then a warning message will be issued.  Well known sections (.text,
  .data. .bss. etc) will not generate this message.  This feature is to
  help programmers who create new code sections but who forget to give
  them an "executable" attribute.  Doing this on the H8300 port results
  in problems later on when relocs are generated and issuing the warning
  message helps the programmers find the problem.

Cheers
  Nick
