A short thunk uses a direct branch (b or b.w) instruction, and is used
when the target has the same thumbness as the thunk and is within
direct branch range (32MB for ARM, 16MB for Thumb-2). Reduces the
size of Chromium for Android's .text section by around 160KB.

This change adds initial support for range extension thunks. All thunks must
be created within the first pass so some corner cases are not supported. A
follow up patch will add support for multiple passes.
With this change the existing tests arm-branch-error.s and
arm-thumb-branch-error.s now no longer fail with an out of range branch.
These have been renamed and tests added for the range extension thunk.
