Avoid warning race with creating 'ldscripts' directory during build.

In r204548 the 'rm -f ldscripts' was added likely due to reading the
conditional as 'else it is a file'. That seems unlikely though and
the more likely case is just that the directory hasn't been created yet.

Because this races with ,ssother scripts, use 'mkdir -p' which is a minimal
modification vs upstream to avoid the warning of 'File exists' if another
script creates it first. This could replace the 'test -d' as well but
then it's more unneeded change to the upstream script.

Merge binutils 2.17.50 to head. This brings a number of improvements to
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.

Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

In the case of a native build, set NATIVE to yes so that the code circuits
that need to be activated specifically for the case of a native linker
actually are enabled. Specifically, this makes ld(1) look for shared
libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the native case, as documented in the
man page.

Updated Bmake framework for Binutils 2.15.

Sync with 2.13. Reduce forking by using multiple sed expressions rather
than piping thru tr(1). Also prefer case over for+test, as case will
handle regex's nicely.

Note we can't exactly follow the real 2.13 genscripts.sh as we wind up with
multiple "'s in search paths. It is too late tonight to track down why.

Support linking with -z combreloc (combine and sort reloc sections) and with
--shared -z combreloc (shared library, combine & sort relocs)

Minor style reformatting.

Pull the switch and activate our Binutils to a snapshot of the up and
comming 2.10 release.

This is a simplified version of the binutils script which better suits
the (few) things that the FreeBSD makefiles need to specify.
