[PATCH] [MSP430] Read mcu data from file instead of hardcoded data

[Jozef Lawrynowicz <jozef dot l at somniumtech dot com>]

GCC for the MSP430 target uses hard-coded data to choose the correct CPU
ISA and hardware multiply version for a given MCU. Since the data is
hard-coded, this data can only be updated by updating the compiler
itself.

The following patch changes the mechanism for processing device data to
instead look for a "devices.csv" file (provided by TI) on the include
and linker search paths specified by the user.

If the file is found then it is parsed, and the device passed to the
mmcu option is searched for. If the file or device aren't found, then
GCC uses the old hard-coded data instead.

If the patch is acceptable, I would appreciate if someone could commit
it for me, as I do not have write access.

Thanks,
Jozef
