[PATCH] gas: sframe: fix PR gas/33756

Previously, sframe_xlate_do_remember_state () relied exclusively on
last_fre (the last fully constructed Frame Row Entry).  At the start of
a function (before an advance in location), last_fre is NULL.  The
intent of DW_CFA_remember_state, however, is to simply snapshot the
state of the call frame information at the time.  In terms of SFrame
generation, this means that we should simply look at cur_fre (the
scratchpad FRE currently being built from initial CFI instructions),
should last_fre be NULL.

Remove the common-empty-1.s which assumed that .cfi_startproc,
immediately followed by a .cfi_remember_state is not present out in the
wild.  Its best to not make such an assumption, as such a sequence is
valid CFI, FWIW.

Initial CFI are arch-specific, so add a new testcase for x86_64 to check
.cfi_remember_state handling for SFrame is sensible.

	PR gas/33756
	* gen-sframe.c (sframe_xlate_do_remember_state): Use cur_fre if
	last_fre is not set.
gas/testsuite/
	* gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe.exp: Adjust common-empty-1 test to
	be repurposed as cfi-sframe-x86_64-pr33756.
	* gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-1.d: Removed.
	* gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-1.s: Removed.
	* gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-pr33756.d: New test.
	* gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-pr33756.s: New test.
