convert dos eol to unix
This patch addresses inconsistent line endings (CRLF vs. LF) in various testsuite files across the Binutils project. By converting these to Unix-style line endings, the author aims to prevent ‘git am’ failures for contributors submitting patches, ensuring a smoother development workflow.
