fix -fmax-errors & notes


Hi,
Jonathan & I were chatting at the cauldron about how -fmax-errors kills any notes about the final error. That's because we bail out just after emitting the final error. This patch fixes the problem by bailing out just before emitting the error or warning after that.

Sure, we'll do slightly more compilation than asked for, but this is the fatal error path, so who cares how long it takes. Better to get notes to the user.

I augmented the fmax-errors testcase so that the final emitted error has a trailing note (which we now emit), and is followed by a warning (which causes us to bail).

The same logic applies to -Wfatal-errors handling.

ok?

	* diagnostic.c (diagnostic_action_after_output): Remove fatal
	and max error handling here ....
	(diagnostic_report_diagnostic): ... do it here instead.

	testsuite/
	* c-c++-common/fmax-errors.c: Add error with note.
