If result of 64-bit address loading combines with 32-bit mask, LLVM
tries to optimize the code and remove "redundant" loading of upper
32-bits of the address. It leads to incorrect code on MIPS64 targets.
MIPS backend creates the following chain of commands to load 64-bit
address in the `MipsTargetLowering::getAddrNonPICSym64` method:
```
(add (shl (add (shl (add %highest(sym), %higher(sym)),
16),
%hi(sym)),
16),
%lo(%sym))
```
If the mask presents, LLVM decides to optimize the chain of commands. It
really does not make sense to load upper 32-bits because the 0x0fffffff
mask anyway clears them. After removing redundant commands we get this
chain:
```
(add (shl (%hi(sym), 16), %lo(%sym))
```
There is no patterns matched `(MipsHi (i64 symbol))`. Due a bug in `SYM_32`
predicate definition, backend incorrectly selects a pattern for a 32-bit
symbols and uses the `lui` instruction for loading `%hi(sym)`.
As a result we get incorrect set of instructions with unnecessary 16-bit
left shifting:
```
lui at,0x0
R_MIPS_HI16 foo
dsll at,at,0x10
daddiu at,at,0
R_MIPS_LO16 foo
```
This patch resolves two problems:
- Fix `SYM_32/SYM_64` predicates to prevent selection of patterns dedicated
to 32-bit symbols in case of using N64 ABI.
- Add missed patterns for 64-bit symbols for `%hi/%lo`.
Fix PR42736.

There is no pattern matched `add hi, (MipsLo texternalsym)`. As a result,
loading an address of 32-bit symbol requires two registers and one more
additional instruction:
```
addiu $1, $zero, %lo(foo)
lui $2, %hi(foo)
addu $25, $2, $1
```
This patch adds the missed pattern and enables generation more effective
set of instructions:
```
lui $1, %hi(foo)
addiu $25, $1, %lo(foo)
```

If the `long-calls` feature flags is enabled, disable use of the `jal`
instruction. Instead of that call a function by by first loading its
address into a register, and then using the contents of that register.
