    Update to 2.31.1

    Changelog:
    2.31.1
      This release also contains a fix for PR gold/23409 where the gold
      linker could end up creating duplicate copies of some symbols.

    2.31
    This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the
    following new features:

      * Direct linking with DLLs for Cygwin and Mingw targets is now faster.

      * The linker now defaults to enabling -z separate-code for Linux
        targets, although a configure time option can change this.
        This option can increase disk and memory size of executables, but
        it does help to improve security.

      * The disassembler supports Netronome Flow Processor (NFP) firmware
        files.

      * The AArch64 disassembler supports showing disassembly notes which
        are emitted when inconsistencies are found with the instruction that
        may result in the instruction being invalid.  It also emits warnings
        when a combination of an instruction and a named register could be
        invalid.

      * The AR archive manager now supports an "O" modifier to display
        member offsets inside an archive.

      * The ADR and ADRL pseudo-instructions supported by the ARM assembler
        now only set the bottom bit of the address of thumb function symbols
        if the -mthumb-interwork command line option is active.

      * The MIPS assembler supports the Global INValidate (GINV) and
        Cyclic Redudancy Check (CRC) architecture extensions.

      * Support has been added for the Freescale S12Z architecture.

      * The assembler has a new --generate-missing-build-notes=[yes|no]
        option to create (or not) GNU Build Attribute notes if none are
        present in the input sources.

      * The -mold-gcc command-line option has been removed for x86 targets.

      * The x86 assembler now supports a -O[2|s] command-line options to
        enable alternate shorter instruction encodings.

      * The gold linker has a new --debug=plugin option for easier debugging
        of plugin-related problems.

      * The gold linker now supports the -z keep_text_section_prefix option.

      * The gold linker now has support for .note.gnu.property sections
        (from Linux ABI extensions).

      * Add gold linker now has support for Intel's Indirect Branch Tracking
        (IBT) and Shadow Stack instructions.
