RFA: RL78: Fix multiply costs when optimizing for size

Hi DJ,

  The patch below fixes a small problem with the RL78 backend.  When
  optimizing for size it is better to use a slow multiply instruction
  than a faster, but larger, shift sequence.  So the patch tweaks the
  rtx costs for MULT insns when speed is not a priority.

  Tested with no regressions on an rl78-elf toolchain.

  OK to apply ?

Cheers
  Nick

	* config/rl78/rl78.c (rl78_rtx_costs): Treat MULT insns as cheap
	if optimizing for size.
