[PATCH] H8: Set H8/300H as the default architecture for H8 family

Binutils, in particular ld and gas, use H8/300 as the default architecture.
On the other hand, support for H8/300 has been removed from gcc since
July 2020 (AFAIR) and H8/300H is the default there. This situation causes
that about 30 test cases fail in the following way:

This patch sets H8/300H as the default architecture for H8 family.

bfd/ChangeLog:

	* cpu-h8300.c: Set H8/300H as the default architecture
	for H8 family.

gas/ChangeLog:

	* config/tc-h8300.c: Set H8/300H as the default architecture
	for H8 family.

ld/ChangeLog:

	* configure.tgt: Set H8/300H as the default architecture
	for H8 family.
