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.

Remove target peigen.c so that make doesn't warn us about it.

Add support for the BFD target efi-app-x86_64.

This uses only GPL2 source code and is a requirement for a 64 bit EFI
boot loader.

Enable EFI target.
While there, make use of the DEFAULT_VECTOR variable.

MAJOR cleanup of the Bmake framework.
This includes removing all vestiges of the old not-really supported
ability to build cross tools targeting non-FreeBSD systems, such as
m68k Lynx and NetBSD. Move as much duplicated code from platform
Makefiles into the shared Makefiles. Add a simple mechanism for
specifying ELF 'ldscripts'. Also share as many .h files as possible
(now a single bfd.h vs. one per platform).

Move the elf32-target.h and elf64-target.h targets from the MD
makefiles to the centralized makefile. This not only reduces
duplication, it also makes the MD quirks stand out better and
thus improves maintenance.

bfd_elf32_i386_freebsd_vec is the only 32-bit vector we really need.
ar and nm aren't very smart when faced with multiple applicable vectors.

The AMD64 Hammer bits.
