[PATCH,V2 02/15] gas: add new command line option --gsframe

[Indu Bhagat <indu.bhagat@oracle.com>]

[No changes in V2]

When --gsframe is specified, the assembler will generate a .sframe
section from the CFI directives in the assembly.

ChangeLog:

	* gas/as.c (parse_args): Parse args and set flag_gen_sframe.
	* gas/as.h: Introduce skeleton for --gsframe.
	* gas/doc/as.texi: document --gsframe.
