[PATCH] bfd: tweak SET_ARCH_MACH of aout-cris.c

Hello!

This patch changes how SET_ARCH_MACH is used. As done currently it calls the
function stored in bfd_target/_bfd_set_arch_mach directly ignoring the bfd
function parameter available at the place the macro is used. In essence this
is bfd_set_arch_mach in disguise. Using a direct call is not wrong (after all
the code was there for almost 20 years and xvec is const), nevertheless using
bfd_set_arch_mach feels to be 'more' correct. The DEFAULT_ARCH is deleted since
its only required iff SET_ARCH_MACH is not defined. I wonder what the set_sizes
method is good for if the method is not called without a bfd_set_arch_mach call?

The additional changes to the local swap_ext_reloc_in function are meant to
align it with the "base" swap_ext_reloc_in function in aoutx.h. About the
r_index casting I am not sure anymore since the commit to aoutx.h talks about
K&R. Maybe the casts in aoutx.h should be removed? The change to r_type
handling is a no-op, since the SHIFT value is 0. However for consistency I
think the code should use the same style as the base code from aoutx.h.

	* aout-cris.c (DEFAULT_ARCH): Delete define.
	(MY_set_arch_mach): Likewise.
	(SET_ARCH_MACH): Use bfd_set_arch_mach with an explicit architecture
	of bfd_arch_cris.
	(swap_ext_reloc_in): Add casts to r_index extraction. Mask valid bits
	of r_type before the shift.
