Run the testsuite during the build.

* Build a mingw32-binutils transition package (Closes: #756141):
  - Lintian overrides are correct (Closes: #470874);
  - windres correctly handles input charsets (Closes: #530028);
  - use autotools-dev update config.{guess,sub} (Closes: #735376),
    thanks to Logan Rosen for the patch.
* Standards-Version 3.9.5, no change required.

* Move linker scripts to target-specific directories to avoid
  conflicting with binutils (Closes: #712151, #712153).
* Enable hardened builds.
* Standards-Version 3.9.4, no further change required.
* Drop DM-Upload-Allowed.
* Switch to my Debian address.
* Use canonical VCS URIs.

binutils-mingw-w64 doesn't conflict with mingw32-binutils so remove
the relationship (helps with #662746).

[ Stephen Kitt ]
* Fix Lintian error about copyright templates.
* Add build-arch and build-indep targets.
* Switch to single-number versions and add the binutils-mingw-w64
  version to the resulting binary package's version.
* Split package into 32- and 64-bit specific versions (-i686 and
  -x86-64) - see thread starting at
  http://<email address hidden> for rationale.

[ Didier Raboud ]
* Confidently setting the DMUA-flag to yes.
