Set insn_last_address in final_1


final_1 already sets insn_current_address for each instruction, making
it possible to use some of the address functions in final.c during
assembly generation.  This patch also sets insn_last_address, since
as the comment says, we can treat final as a shorten_branches pass that
does nothing.  It's then possible to use insn_current_reference_address
during final as well.

This is needed for the aarch64.md definitions of far_branch to work:

   (set (attr "far_branch")
	(if_then_else (and (ge (minus (match_dup 2) (pc)) (const_int -1048576))
			   (lt (minus (match_dup 2) (pc)) (const_int 1048572)))
		      (const_int 0)
		      (const_int 1)))]

This value (tested only during final) uses the difference between
the INSN_ADDRESSES of operand 2 and insn_current_reference_address
to calculate a conservatively-correct estimate of the branch distance.
It takes into account the worst-case gap due to alignment, whereas
a direct comparison of INSN_ADDRESSES would give an unreliable,
optimistic result.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.  Sameera confirms
that it fixes the original bug, but there's no sharable testcase.
OK to install?
