[committed] Stop forcing unsigned bitfields on mcore
The GCC manual has a whole section on signedness of bitfields with the ultimate
conclusion that the property really isn't an ABI issue, but instead a C dialect
issue (agreed). Furthermore it concludes that all targets should behave the
same by default.
So it was a mistake for the mcore port to force bitfields to be unsigned and
that never should have been included. This patch rectifies that problem.
I should have remembered this -- I went down this path once in the 90s. I
don't recall which port anymore, but once Joseph mentioned this policy bits and
pieces did start to come back to me.
Restoring the proper default happens to also fix 170 tests in the GCC
testsuite, some of which would go into infinite loops when bitfields were
treated as signed values (pr88621 for example). Essentially the testing time
cuts in half, which was actually the point of digging into pr88621 to begin
with.
