This patch exploits the xxsplti32dx instruction available on Power10
in place of constant pool loads where xxspltidp would not be able to,
usually because the immediate cannot fit into 32 bits.

A linker optimization is available on PowerPC for GOT indirect PCRelative loads.
The idea is that we can mark a usual GOT indirect load:
pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1
lwa 3, 4(3)
With a relocation to say that if we don't need to go through the GOT we can let
the linker further optimize this and replace a load with a nop.
pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1
.Lpcrel1:
.reloc .Lpcrel1-8,R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT,.-(.Lpcrel1-8)
lwa 3, 4(3)
This patch adds the logic that allows the compiler to add the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT.

Add initial support for PC Relative addressing for constant pool loads.
This includes adding a new relocation for @pcrel and adding a new PowerPC flag
to identify PC relative addressing.
