    rs6000: Remove -mstring

    -mstring is only enabled by default on 601, and with -Os on some
    configurations.  It is almost always slower (than not using it) and
    does not very often lead to smaller code.

    This patch disables it.  If a user uses -mstring he gets a warning
    (but not with -mno-string).  I left the target attribute in place, it
    just doesn't do anything anymore.

    The patch also deletes a whole bunch of code.  The 'N' and 'O' output
    modifiers are now unused, but now is not the time to delete them.
