aarch64-pe fails of tls-debug tests
Alan Modra proposes changes to the gas testsuite to fix failing TLS debug tests for the aarch64-pe target. The tests currently use ELF section directives which are not specific to aarch64, leading to failures. The fix replaces the target-specific check with a generic is_elf_format check.
