This adds the -z gcs and -z gcs-report options, which behave similarly to -z shtk and -z cet-report, except that -z gcs accepts a parameter: * -z gcs=implicit is the default behaviour, where the GCS bit is inferred from the input objects. * -z gcs=never clears the GCS bit, ignoring the input objects. * -z gcs=always sets the GCS bit, ignoring the input objects. This is so that there's a means of explicitly disabling GCS even when all input objects have the GCS bit set.
