[Bug target/27237] gcc driver should pass -mthumb option to arm assembler

Gas is part of binutils, but the driver is part of gcc, and it *is* a violation
of the principle of least astonishment to have to pass the same option two
different ways through the driver depending on what option is being passed.

Also, the same information is present in the gcc info node. (see 3.17.2 ARM
Options) and the GCC Command Options section says that options are passed on to
the various stages.

If any of the passes recognizes an option that the driver understands, the
driver should pass that option on to that pass.  Any other behavior violates
least-astonishment.
