A while back I added the target_globals structure, to allow a backend
to switch between two very different ISA modes without paying the full
target_reinit penalty each time.  This made a huge difference to compile
time, but had a drawback: the target_globals structure contained both
GGC and non-GGC data.  This meant that secondary target_globals structures
like mips16_globals couldn't be saved correctly in PCH files.

I'm afraid I was aware of this at the time, but decided to go ahead
anyway on the basis that compiling MIPS16 code in reasonable time was
more important than creating MIPS16 PCH files.  But after um-ing and
ah-ing about the best fix, I've finally settled on the patch below.

Tested on mips64-linux-gnu, where it fixes many PCH failures for MIPS16.
OK to install?

If there is any way to say:

  #pragma mips16

to globally switch state into mips16 mode, then I believe the patch is wrong.  The pch file can have that directive in it to put the compiler into that mode, with all the resulting state that mode entails.  Now, if you store that one bit into the pch file, say, via a GTY int flag, then on reload, you can examine that flag, and enter that state.  Bear in mind, this 'slows' pch load time.

The global switching of state happens when we start to compile a function,
which means we must have seen a C token.  The target_globals state is
non-MIPS16 up until then, even if -mips16 is passed on the command line,
or if the command line is changed by pragmas.

Besides, I think:

         #pragma GCC optimize ...X...
         #include "foo.h"

breaks the PCH contract if X is incompatible with the flags used at
the beginning of the PCH compilation.
