The previous implementation did not cover all possible FPU combinations
and it silently allowed ABI incompatible objects to be loaded with the
wrong ABI. For example, the previous logic would set the FP_64 ABI as
the matching ABI for an FP_XX object combined with an FP_64A object.
This was wrong, and the matching ABI should have been FP_64A.
The previous logic is now replaced with a new one which determines
the appropriate FPU mode to be used rather than the FP ABI. This has
the advantage that the entire logic is much simpler since it is the FPU
mode we are interested in rather than the FP ABI resulting to code
simplifications. This also removes the now obsolete FP32XX_HYBRID_FPRS
option.

The hybrid FPR scheme exists to allow for compatibility between existing
FP32 code and newly compiled FP64A code. Such code should hopefully be
rare in the real world, and for the moment is difficult to come across.
All code except that built for the FP64 ABI can correctly execute using
the hybrid FPR scheme, so debugging the hybrid FPR implementation can
be eased by forcing all such code to use it. This is undesirable in
general due to the trap & emulate overhead of the hybrid FPR
implementation, but is a very useful option to have for debugging.

This patch reads the .MIPS.abiflags section when it is present, and sets
the FP mode of the task accordingly. Any loaded ELF files which do not
contain a .MIPS.abiflags section will continue to observe the previous
behaviour, that is FR=1 if EF_MIPS_FP64 is set else FR=0.
