Fix GCC Multi-arch Testing
The gcc.target/arm testsuite directory has numerous tests which change their PASS/FAIL status depending on how the compiler is configured or how the test suite is invoked. The proposal is to move compile-only tests into their own directory which ignore the 'multi-test' arguments.

Whiteboard
When invoking the testsuite various tests in the gcc.target/arm directory will fail depending on how the compiler has been configured or testsuite has been invoked with multi-test arguments.
The aim of this blueprint is to rework the GCC testsuite into a shape where we can run compile-only tests which depend on the CPU without the 'multi-test' arguments being apended, and also have execute tests test for the right features.
