Update objdump's --disassemble=<symbol> feature so that if <symbol> is a function, the entire function will be disassembled, regardless of the presence of interveening symbols.
* objdump.c (disassemble_section): When disassembling from a
symbol only stop at the next symbol if the original symbol was not
a function symbol. Otherwise continue disassembling until a new
function is reached.
* testsuite/binutils-all/objdump.exp: Add tests of extended
functionality.
* testsuite/binutils-all/disasm.s: New test source file.
