reporting that an input file is incompatible with the output.

The GNU coding standard says error messages should be of the form
program:sourcefile:lineno: message
or
program: message
and
"The string message should not begin with a capital letter when it
follows a program name and/or file name, because that isn’t the
beginning of a sentence. (The sentence conceptually starts at the
beginning of the line.) Also, it should not end with a period."
This patch does that for ppc, and removes some British spelling.
I've also switched some error output from using the linker callback
einfo to _bfd_error_handler, due to improved compilation time
argument checking now done for the latter function.

_bfd_error_handler rather than einfo when einfo features not used.

This patch extends Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP to cover long double ABIs,
makes the assembler warn about undefined tag values, and removes
similar warnings from the linker. I think it is better to not
warn in the linker about undefined tag values as future extensions to
the tags then won't result in likely bogus warnings. This is
consistent with the fact that an older linker won't warn on an
entirely new tag.
