_gp points to a position in the file, so it is not really absolute. It
is also simpler to not force it to be absolute, so if there is no
strong ABI requirement we should not do it.

These MIPS specific symbols should be global because in general they can
have an arbitrary value. By default this value is a fixed offset from .got
section.
This patch adds more checks to the mips-gp-local.s test case but marks
it as XFAIL because LLD does not allow redefinition of absolute symbols
value by a linker script. This should be fixed by D27276.

In case of MIPS, GP-relative relocations always resolve to a definition
in a regular input file, ignoring the one-definition rule. Such
relocations are used to setup GP relative offsets in a function's
prologue. So we, for example, should not attempt to create a dynamic
relocation even if the target symbol is preemptible.
Fixes bug 27880.
