Fix probe-related internal error on AIX

-- Initial message by Tom Tromey:

While testing on AIX, I happened to notice an internal error coming
from parse_probes.  This happens because there are no probes defined
on this platform.  This patch fixes the problem by changing an assert
into an ordinary error, and then changing the relevant caller to cope.

This fixes a few tests on AIX; also regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.

-- Followup by Sergio Durigan Junior:

By reading the patch (and the original code), I found it a little bit
obscure, so I took the liberty to try to improve it.  Here's the patch.
Could you please take a look and see if it works on AIX (and also if you
like the approach)?

Add opcode relaxation for rl78-elf

This patch adds initial in-gas opcode relaxation for the rl78
backend.  Specifically, it checks for conditional branches that
are too far and replaces them with inverted branches around longer
fixed branches.
