[PATCH v4 15/15] gas: Validate SFrame RA tracking and fixed RA offset

Verify all architectures participating in SFrame generation do define
the mandatory SFrame return address (RA) tracking predicate function
sframe_ra_tracking_p. Do so by explicitly not testing for the macro
SFRAME_FRE_RA_TRACKING as otherwise required.

Verify that architectures not using SFrame RA tracking specify a valid
fixed RA offset.

gas/
	* gen-sframe.c (output_sframe_internal): Validate SFrame
	RA tracking and fixed RA offset.

Notes (jremus):
    Changes v3 -> v4:
    - Implement review feedback and suggestions from Indu.
    
    Changes v2 -> v3:
    - New patch.
    
    This could be made dependent on ENABLE_CHECKING (configure option
    --enable-checking).
