From the PowerPC ELFv2 ABI section 4.2.3. Global Offset Table.
```
The GOT consists of an 8-byte header that contains the TOC base (the first TOC
base when multiple TOCs are present), followed by an array of 8-byte addresses.
```
Due to the introduction of PC Relative code it is now possible to require a GOT
without having a .TOC. symbol in the object that is being linked. Since LLD uses
the .TOC. symbol to determine whether or not a GOT is required the GOT header is
not setup correctly and the 8-byte header is missing.
This patch allows the Power PC GOT setup to happen when an element is added to
the GOT instead of at the very begining. When this header is added a .TOC.
symbol is also added.

There is a bug when initial exec is relaxed to local exec.
In the following situation:
InitExec.c
```
extern __thread unsigned TGlobal;
unsigned getConst(unsigned*);
unsigned addVal(unsigned, unsigned*);
unsigned GetAddrT() {
return addVal(getConst(&TGlobal), &TGlobal);
}
```
Def.c
```
__thread unsigned TGlobal;
unsigned getConst(unsigned* A) {
return *A + 3;
}
unsigned addVal(unsigned A, unsigned* B) {
return A + *B;
}
```
The problem is in InitExec.c but Def.c is required if you want to link the example and see the problem.
To compile everything:
```
clang -O3 -mcpu=pwr10 -c InitExec.c
clang -O3 -mcpu=pwr10 -c Def.c
ld.lld InitExec.o Def.o -o IeToLe
```
If you objdump the problem object file:
```
$ llvm-objdump -dr --mcpu=pwr10 InitExec.o
```
you will get the following assembly:
```

```
The lines of interest are:
```
10: 00 00 10 04 00 00 60 e4 pld 3, 0(0), 1
0000000000000010: R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL_PCREL34 TGlobal

0000000000000019: R_PPC64_TLS TGlobal
1c: 78 f3 c3 7f mr 3, 30
```
Which once linked gets turned into:
```
10010210: ff ff 03 06 00 90 6d 38 paddi 3, 13, -28672, 0
10010218: 00 00 00 60 nop
1001021c: 78 f3 c3 7f mr 3, 30
```
The problem is that register 30 is never set after the optimization.
Therefore it is not correct to relax the above instructions by replacing
the add instruction with a nop.
Instead the add instruction should be replaced with a copy (mr) instruction.
If the add uses the same resgiter as input and as ouput then it is safe to
continue to replace the add with a nop.

Add Thread Local Storage Initial Exec support to LLD.
This patch adds the computation for the relocations as well as the relaxation from Initial Exec to Local Exec.
Initial Exec:
```
pld r9, x@got@tprel@pcrel
add r9, r9, x@tls@pcrel
```
or
```
pld r9, x@got@tprel@pcrel
lbzx r10, r9, x@tls@pcrel
```
Note that @tls@pcrel is actually encoded as R_PPC64_TLS with a one byte displacement.
For the above examples relaxing Intitial Exec to Local Exec:
```
paddi r9, r9, x@tprel
nop
```
or
```
paddi r9, r13, x@tprel
lbz r10, 0(r9)
```
