  I was looking to clean up an old patch I'm carrying in my tester.  My 
first thought was that ft32 was likely going to be deprecated because it 
wasn't using LRA -- which in turn would mean the patch in question could 
just be removed.

But then I checked, ft32 has an LRA option and if turned on it gets the 
exact same test results as with reload.  While the port mentions a 
failure with sieve.c, that's been there since the port was introduced in 
2015.

It's working well enough that I think just converting it is the right 
thing to do.  The testsuite patch which precipitated this one will 
follow separately.  I've kept the -mlra option for compatibility sake, 
but it's ignored.

Pushing to the trunk.

	* config/ft32/ft32.cc (ft32_lra_p): Remove.
	(TARGET_LRA_P): Likewise.
	* config/ft32/ft32.opt: Make -mlra ignored.
	* doc/invoke.texi: Adjust documentation for -mlra on ft32.
