[patch] add missing gcc_target_options method for nios2

While looking at gdb.compile test failures on nios2, I found that it was 
passing an invalid option to gcc, due to another missing target method. 
This patch doesn't make the "compile" command work for me yet (see PRs 
23671 and 23672 that I filed last night) but it seems like something 
that will be necessary to get there.  OK to commit?

Thank you.  This is ok.

The default gcc_target_options seems overly specific to me.

Me too.  Based on reading the code, I've gotten the impression that the 
compile functionality in GDB has not been well-tested on any target 
other than native x86 GNU/Linux and some of the design/implementation 
decisions reflect that.
