    cris: Don't default to -mmul-bug-workaround
    
    This flips the default for the errata handling for an old version
    (TL;DR: workaround: no multiply instruction last on a cache-line).
    Newer versions of the CRIS cpu don't have that bug.  While the impact
    of the workaround is very marginal (coremark: less than .05% larger,
    less than .0005% slower) it's an irritating pseudorandom factor when
    assessing the impact of other changes.
    
    Also, fix a wart requiring changes to more than TARGET_DEFAULT to flip
    the default.
    
    People building old kernels or operating systems to run on
    ETRAX 100 LX are advised to pass "-mmul-bug-workaround".
    
    gcc:
            * config/cris/cris.h (TARGET_DEFAULT): Don't include MASK_MUL_BUG.
            (MUL_BUG_ASM_DEFAULT): New macro.
            (MAYBE_AS_NO_MUL_BUG_ABORT): Define in terms of MUL_BUG_ASM_DEFAULT.
            * doc/invoke.texi (CRIS Options, -mmul-bug-workaround): Adjust
            accordingly.
