PR11601, Solaris assembler compatibility doesn't work

Well, it doesn't work on x86 or ppc, which both have # starting
comments anywhere on a line.  I think it is therefore only useful on
sparc.

	PR 11601
	* config/obj-elf.c (obj_elf_section_word): Only compile for sparc.
	(obj_elf_section): Only support solaris .section directive on
	sparc.
	* doc/as.texi (Section): Mention that solaris .section
	directive is only supported for sparc.
