[committed] correct nios2 _gp address computation


A month or two ago, I noticed that building a complete nios2-linux-gnu toolchain from mainline sources was dying with GP-relative relocation overflows in the linker. At first I thought this might have been caused by an explosion in the size of the GOT (which the linker script locates at the lower end of the small data area), but on further investigation it turned out that the value of _gp used internally to determine offsets for the relocations was being calculated incorrectly. The code has been like that forever and I'm still rubbing my eyes that we didn't spot this error long before now. :-(

Comparing this to MIPS and other targets that support GP-relative addressing, I noticed that the equivalent of nios2_elf_assign_gp in those backends does something completely different, but I couldn't get that to work on nios2-linux-gnu (it kept complaining about _gp being undefined instead of finding the definition in the linker script). So, I went with the most obvious fix to the existing code. I also checked in some cleanup of the error message formatting code that I hacked up while tracking this down.
