[ARM] Use getters/setters to access ARM branch type
Commit Message
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-M security
extension[1] to GNU ld. This specific patch changes all accesses to the
branch type stored in the st_target_internal field of a Elf_Internal_Sym
structure or in the target_internal field of a elf_link_hash_entry
structure by getter and setters. This is required by subsequent patches to
also store in these fields whether a symbol is a special symbol indicating
a secure entry function.
[1] Software requirements for ARMv8-M security extension are described in
document ARM-ECM-0359818 [2] [2] Available on http://infocenter.arm.com in
Developer guides and articles > Software development > ARMĀ®v8-M Security
Extensions: Requirements on Development Tools
Please find below the gdb part of the ChangeLog and patch. For the full
version, please see [2].

* arm-tdep.c (arm_elf_make_msymbol_special): Use
ARM_GET_SYM_BRANCH_TYPE to get branch type of a symbol.
Is this ok for the master branch?
Best regards,

We need a blank line here.

Patch is OK to me.
