MSP430: Enable relaxation of jump instructions to hard-coded pcrel offsets
This patch fixes execution failures which occur when the BR in a
sequence such as:
J<cond> 1f
BR
1:
is relaxed to a JMP, and the pc-relative offset for the destination of
the J<cond> instruction is hard-coded to be 2 words ahead of the
instruction.
The hard-coded offset will cause execution to jump 1 word ahead of where
it should actually go.
Instead we now detect the hard-coded offset is one we inserted earlier,
and invert the condition, allowing us to remove the BR entirely.

* elf32-msp430.c (msp430_elf_relax_section): Before relaxing a branch,
check if previous instruction matches a conditional jump inserted
earlier. Invert conditional jump and delete branch in this case.
