Hi, this PR is about fact that we no longer output
"weak declaration must precede definition" errors. These errors
makes no sense in unit-at-a-time compilation model and thus they
didn't exist since we dropped non-unit-at-a-time.

This patch updates docs and turns the error messages into sanity check.
We might document the behaviour change, but I don't think we need
to preserve this limitation of earlier compilers.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, OK?

	PR c/21659
	* doc/extend.texi (weak pragma): Drop claim that it must
	appear before definition.
	* varasm.c (merge_weak, declare_weak): Only sanity check
	that DECL is not output at a time it is declared weak.
