[PATCH 2/8][Binutils][AArch64] Wire through instr_sequence

[Tamar Christina]

Hi All,

This patch introduces aarch64_instr_sequence which is a structure similar to IT
blocks on Arm in order to track instructions that introduce a constraint or
dependency on instruction 1..N positions away from the instruction that opened
the block.

The struct is also wired through to the locations that require it.

build on native hardware and regtested on
aarch64-none-elf, aarch64-none-elf (32 bit host),
aarch64-none-linux-gnu

Cross-compiled and regtested on
aarch64-none-linux-gnu, aarch64_be-none-linux-gnu

and no issues.

Ok for master?

Thanks,
Tamar
