[PATCH] remove broken and redundant diagnostic in i386_pe_section_type_flags

[tsaunders]

From: Trevor Saunders <tsaund...@mozilla.com>

Hi,

While fixing up the hash_table patch's bustedness here I noticed the code
doesn't make any sense.  What it inserts into the hash table will never match
what we try and look up in it.  If you want to use hash_table or htab as a map
you need to deal with the keys yourself, it doesn't do it for you.

varasm.c is the only caller of this target hook, and it correctly uses a
htab to check if the flags returned by the hook are the same as the
flags it has for the section, and emit an error if not.  Therefore if we fixed
this machinary it would only ever emit redundant errors, so it would seem to
make sense to get rid of it.

 I don't have a setup to test windows targets at hand, but I checked I can
buildd a compiler targeting x86_64-cygwin with this patch.  Ok if someone can
really test it and it passes?
