Mark Wielaard a9f5fb4089 Add --no-write-default-sizes option.
abidw will write out the exact same size-in-bits address for every
pointer type, reference type, function declaration and function type
even though it is always the same as the translation unit address
size. When giving the --no-write-default-sizes option these aren't
written out anymore. The reader is updated to set the default size
when none is given in the XML description.

Even though size and alignment are handled together in the reader,
default alignment is still set to zero, following commit a05384675

Note that this isn't backward compatible with older libabigail
readers, which will set the size to zero when none is given. So this
option isn't the default.

	* doc/manuals/abidw.rst: Document --no-write-default-sizes.
	* include/abg-writer.h (set_write_default_sizes): New function
	declaration.

	(build_pointer_type_def): Likewise.
	(build_reference_type_def): Likewise.
	(build_function_type): Likewise.
	* src/abg-writer.cc (write_context): Add m_write_default_sizes
	bool.

	with --no-write-default-sizes.
	* tools/abidw.cc (option): Add default_sizes bool.
	(parse_command_line): Parse --no-write-default-sizes.
	(display_usage): Add doc string for --no-write-default-sizes.
