[PATCH v2][MSP430] -Add fno-exceptions multilib


Original patch here: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-11/msg00619.html

Late for stage 1 I know, but it's an iteration on a patch submitted before the
transition to stage 3 and the functional changes to the compiler are constrained
to the msp430 target.

The code size bloat added by building C++ programs using libraries containing
support for exceptions is significant. When using simple constructs such as
static variables, sometimes many kB from the libraries are unnecessarily
pulled in.

Since C++ libraries are built with exceptions enabled by default, there is
nothing the end user can do about this, even when they pass -fno-exceptions on
the command line.
So this patch adds a new -fno-exceptions multilib configuration for MSP430,
to reduce the code size linked executables when using C++ with -fno-exceptions.

Since building double the multilibs does significantly increase build time,
the patch also adds a configure option --disable-no-exceptions. This disables
the fno-exceptions multilibs from being built.

The changes from the original patch linked above are:
- Wrapped new gcc-dg-prune directives checking for disabled exception handling
  in an if statement, so they are only used if exception handling has been
  disabled in the global test configuration.
- Extended the spec strings used to check for when crt{begin,end}_no_eh.o can be
  used. When linking a C program where exceptions are implicitly disabled, 
  crt{begin,end}_no_eh.o can always be used unless -fexceptions is explicitly
  passed.

Successfully regtested for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. There was no change in any of
the testresults (pass/fail/unsupported).

Regtested -fno-exceptions vs the default configuration for msp430-elf. There was
some fallout from exception handling tests not working, but nothing unexpected.

Ok to apply?
