This is meant to be overriden by backends. Implement an override on PowerPC
which adjusts the offset by 2 for ha16/lo16 relocation kinds. This removes
a commented out hack and enables hello world to be compiled on PowerPC.

LLVM and binutils.
With this patch, there are no functional differences between the .o
produced directly from LLVM versus the .s to .o via GNU as, for relocation tags
at least, for both PIC and non-PIC modes.
Because some non-PIC reloc tags are used (legally) on PIC, so IsPCRel flag is
necessary but not sufficient to determine whether the overall codegen mode is
PIC or not. Why is this necessary? There is an incompatibility of how relocs
are emitted in the .rodata section. Binutils PIC likes to emit certain relocs
as section relative offsets. Non-PIC does not do this.
So I added a hidden switch on the ELFObjectwriter "-arm-elf-force-pic" which
forces the objectwriter to pretend that all relocs are for PIC mode.
Todo: Activate ForceARMElfPIC to true if -relocation-model=pic is selected
on llc.
Todo: There are probably more issues for PIC mode on ARM/MC/ELF...
Todo: Existing tests in MC/ARM/elf-reloc*.ll need to be converted over to .s
tests as well as expanded to cover the gamut.
