[PATCH] Minor optimization: Turn a large macro into a function

[Andi Kleen <ak at suse dot de>]

Noticed this while looking for something else. On i386-elf
ASM_OUTPUT_ASCII() is a quite long and complex macro, but it is called 6
times. Call it from a common function instead to shrink the compiler
executable slightly. This also gives better type checking. 

No functional changes.

I suspect this change could be done for far more config/ macros -- a lot
of them seem to be quite big and likely called multiple times.

Passed bootstrap/test on x86_64-linux.

	* varasm.c (asm_output_ascii): Add.
	* output.h (asm_output_ascii): Declare.
	* varasm.c, dwarf2asm.c: Call asm_output_ascii.
