Enable 64-bit archives in ar and ranlib

Since existing ld and gold support the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives, we
can use the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives as 64-bit archives.  Since the
plugin target is used to create archive in plugin-enabled ar, we need
a way to enable 64-bit archives in the plugin target.  This patch adds
--enable-64-bit-archive to bfd to force 64-bit archives in ar and
ranlib.  Since both 64-bit MIPS and s390 ELF targets currently use
64-bit archives, 64-bit archives are enabled by default for them.
64-bit archive is generated automatically if the archive is too big.

Tested on Linux/x86 and Linux/x86-64 with existing ld and gold.
