Summary:
Forcing Local Exec TLS requires the use of copy relocations. Copy
relocations need special handling in the runtime linker when being used
against TLS symbols, which is present in glibc, but not in FreeBSD nor
musl, and so cannot be relied upon. Moreover, copy relocations are a
hack that embed the size of an object in the ABI when it otherwise
wouldn't be, and break protected symbols (which are expected to be DSO
local), whilst also wasting space, thus they should be avoided whenever
possible. As discussed in D70398, RISC-V should move away from forcing
Local Exec, and instead use Initial Exec like other targets, with
possible linker relaxation to follow. The RISC-V GCC maintainers also
intend to adopt this more-conventional behaviour (see
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/issues/122).

This patch adds lowering for global TLS addresses for the TLS models of
InitialExec, GlobalDynamic, LocalExec and LocalDynamic.
LocalExec support required using a 4-operand add instruction, which uses
the fourth operand to express a relocation on the symbol. The necessary
fixup is emitted when the instruction is emitted.
