[PATCH v2] gas: support --gsframe=no

Being able to explicitly disable SFrames on the command line is useful,
especially when looking at a gas that enables SFrames by default. The
binutils testsuite will benefit from this as there's testcases that don't
expect their presence.

	PR gas/33125
	* gas/as.c (parse_args): Accept --gsframe=no, --gsframe=yes.
---
v2: Make clear what the default is and tweak help text.

(Note: I do have another patch for controlling the default, but that
will come later with testsuite adjustments and it exposed some bugs
that Indu is looking at.)
