Set assembler format for inline assembly under -gen gcc

	The ##-asm## compiler option sets the assembler format for inline ##[[KeyPgAsm Asm]]## blocks when using [[CompilerOptgen -gen gcc]].
	
		- ##-gen gcc -asm intel##: FB inline assembly blocks must use FB's usual Intel syntax format. Under -gen gcc, fbc will try to translate it to gcc's format automatically. For example:
			%%(freebasic)
dim a as long = 1
print a
asm
	inc dword ptr [a]
end asm
print a
%%
			
		- ##-gen gcc -asm att##: FB inline assembly blocks must use [[https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Using-Assembly-Language-with-C.html gcc's format]]. For example:
			%%(freebasic)
dim a as long = 1
print a
asm
	"incl %0\n" : "+m" (a) : :
end asm
print a
%%
	
	The x86 ASM backend ([[CompilerOptgen -gen gas]]) currently only supports ##-asm intel## and using ##-asm att## results in an error.
