Summary:
When lowering global address, lower the base as a TargetGlobal first then
create an SDNode for the offset separately and chain it to the address calculation
This optimization will create a DAG where the base address of a global access will
be reused between different access. The offset can later be folded into the immediate
part of the memory access instruction.
With this optimization we generate:
lui a0, %hi(s)
addi a0, a0, %lo(s) ; shared base address.
addi a1, zero, 20 ; 2 instructions per access.
sw a1, 44(a0)
addi a1, zero, 10
sw a1, 8(a0)
addi a1, zero, 30
sw a1, 80(a0)
Instead of:
lui a0, %hi(s+44) ; 3 instructions per access.
addi a1, zero, 20
sw a1, %lo(s+44)(a0)
lui a0, %hi(s+8)
addi a1, zero, 10
sw a1, %lo(s+8)(a0)
lui a0, %hi(s+80)
addi a1, zero, 30
sw a1, %lo(s+80)(a0)
Which will save one instruction per access.

To do this:
1. Change GlobalAddress SDNode to TargetGlobalAddress to avoid legalizer
split the symbol.
2. Change ExternalSymbol SDNode to TargetExternalSymbol to avoid legalizer
split the symbol.
3. Let PseudoCALL match direct call with target operand TargetGlobalAddress
and TargetExternalSymbol.
