    H8: Set H8/300H as the default architecture for the H8 family.
    
    H8/300H uses 32-bit addresses in its default advanced mode, whereas
    H8/300 uses 16-bit addresses.  Updates affected test cases accordingly.
    
    bfd/
            * cpu-h8300.c: Set H8/300H as the default architecture
            for the H8 family.
    gas/
            * config/tc-h8300.c: Set H8/300H as the default architecture
            for the H8 family.
            * NEWS: Add info about the above change.

            * configure.tgt: Set H8/300H as the default architecture
            for the H8 family.
            * NEWS: Add info about the above change.
            * testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp: Expect 32-bit addresses/pointers
            for H8 on __patchable_function_entries tests.
