MC only needs to know if the output is PIC or not. It never has to
decide about creating GOTs and PLTs for example. The only thing that
MC itself uses this information for is expanding "macros" in sparc and
mips. The rest I am pretty sure could be moved to CodeGen.
This is a cleanup and isolates the code from future changes to
Reloc::Model.

Summary:
This assembler directive is used in O32 PIC to restore the current function's $gp after executing JAL's. The $gp is first stored on the stack at a user-specified offset.
It has the following format: ".cprestore 8" (where 8 is the offset).
This fixes llvm.org/PR20967.
