initial merge of GCC 10.3.0.

these three files are not yet finished merging:

gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000.c
libsanitizer/lsan/lsan_allocator.h
libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_platform_limits_po

initial merge of GCC 10.3.0.

these three files are not yet finished merging:

gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000.c
libsanitizer/lsan/lsan_allocator.h
libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.h

our current GCC 9 sanitizers are newer than GCC 10's still, so that
may take a little to untease, so it's probable that more than
these 2 will need more changes.

rs6000.c has some changes related to ABI and supported functionality
that need to be merged forward.

merge GCC 9.3.0.

merge GCC 8.3.0 pass 1. will not compile yet. thare are still
about 25 files with merge issues.

first pass at merging GCC 7.4.0. unlikely to compile..

merge GCC 6.4.0. sanitizer stuff is probably busted, but most
other changes merged easily.

docs need to be regenerated with modern versions still.

merge GCC 5.4.0. (needs mknative, may not build yet.)

merge GCC 5.3. round 1. this probably won't work :-)

libsanitizer likely needs to be re-ported, though i've done most of
the updating we'll need i think already.
