configure.ac:
Run the C compiler to check if it actually targets x86-64.
Previously we assumed if $host is x86_64 then the C compiler will be
targeting x86-64, but that is not true if gcc -m32 or gcc -mx32 is
used.
Then, as before, if the C compiler targets x86 and dynamic linking
is enabled (except on Windows) and GCC is version 5+ then disable
selection of any grades that use gcc labels.
runtime/mercury_goto.h:
Report an error if the user tries to use non-local gotos with PIC
on x86 with GCC 5+.

Document the issue.

Remove references to lcc (hasn't been tried with Mercury for years)
and the old .NET backend from README.md (likely to cause confusion
more than anything else).
README.md:
README.IRIX-5:
Remove the references to IRIX-5 (including the file README.IRIX-5)
completely. IRIX is pretty much dead, this documentation is pretty
much clutter at this point.
README.AIX:

Replacing the contents of README.HPUX and README.AIX to say that
Mercury (to the best of our knowledge) hasn't been tried with recent
versions of those OSs.
README.md:
Reorder the list or README files to that they occur from most relevant
to new users to least relevant. In particular put commonly-used
backends and platforms earlier in the list.
Provide some introductory text that introduce the user to the multiple
backends available.
Add further links to more information such as the documentation.
Add text so that the file reads more natrually.

Github will automatically format and display a file named README.md in the
root directory of any project. This can be helpful to, at a minimum, direct
anyone browsing github to the project's website. Sebastian has contributed
the following README.md.
