Subject: [PATCH][ARM] Improve max_insns_skipped logic
    
Improve the logic when setting max_insns_skipped.  Limit the maximum size of IT
to MAX_INSN_PER_IT_BLOCK as otherwise multiple IT instructions are needed,
increasing codesize.  Given 4 works well for Thumb-2, use the same limit for ARM
for consistency. 

ChangeLog:
2016-11-04  Wilco Dijkstra  <wdijkstr@arm.com>

        * config/arm/arm.c (arm_option_params_internal): Improve setting of
        max_insns_skipped.
