tools/firmware: do not add a .note.gnu.property section

Prevent the assembler from creating a .note.gnu.property section on
the output objects, as it's not useful for firmware related binaries,
and breaks the resulting rombios image.

This requires modifying the cc-option Makefile macro so it can test
assembler options (by replacing the usage of the -S flag with -c) and
also stripping the -Wa, prefix if present when checking for the test
output.
