Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)

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.

Obtained from: projects/binutils-2.17

Merge ^/vendor/binutils/dist@214571 into contrib/binutils, which brings
us up to version 2.17.50.20070703, at the last GPLv2 commit.

Amongst others, this added upstream support for some FreeBSD-specific
things that we previously had to manually hack in, such as the OSABI
label support, and so on.

There are also quite a number of new files, some for cpu's (e.g. SPU)
that we may or may not be interested in, but those can be cleaned up
later on, if needed.

Import the binutils master branch from the sourceware CVS repository,
exactly as it was on Tue, 3 Jul 2007 07:54:19 +0000.

Corresponds to git commit 397a64b350470350c8e0adb2af84439ea0f89272,
which was the last commit before switching to GPLv3.
