[og8] New Git-only development branch: openacc-gcc-8-branch

[Thomas Schwinge <thomas at codesourcery dot com>]

Hi!

There is a new Git-only development branch: openacc-gcc-8-branch,
<https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/openacc-gcc-8-branch>,
<https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/tree/openacc-gcc-8-branch>.

This branch is for collaborative development of OpenACC and related
functionality, based on gcc-8-branch.  Please send email with a
short-hand "[og8]" tag, and use "ChangeLog.openacc" files.

With some clean-up, the new branch contains the features/changes of the
current openacc-gcc-7-branch (commit
917e247055a37f912129ed545719182de0046adb), and is based on the
gcc-8-branch branch point, trunk r259629, with the recent gcc-8-branch
r260395 merged in.

In contrast to openacc-gcc-7-branch, instead of *merging*, I have this
time *rebased* all the many commits accumulated on gomp-4_0-branch, and
later openacc-gcc-7-branch, and weeded out all (most of?) what is no
longer required, grouped/combined related changes, and so on.  This shall
make it easier to get changes into GCC trunk.

OpenACC wiki page updated: <https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/OpenACC>, and
committed to wwwdocs:
