Similar to R_AARCH64_ABS32, R_PPC64_ADDR32 can represent either a signed
value or unsigned value, thus we should use `[-2**(n-1), 2**n)` instead of
`[-2**(n-1), 2**(n-1))` to check overflows.
The issue manifests as a bogus linker error when linking the powerpc64le Linux kernel.
The new behavior is compatible with ld.bfd's complain_overflow_bitfield.
The upper bound of the error message is not correct. Fix it as well.
The changes to R_PPC_ADDR16, R_PPC64_ADDR16, R_X86_64_8 and R_X86_64_16 are similar.

This fixes PR36927.
The issue is next. Imagine we have -Ttext 0x7c and code below.
.code16
.global _start
_start:
movb $_start+0x83,%ah
So we have R_386_8 relocation and _start at 0x7C.
Addend is 0x83 == 131. We will sign extend it to 0xffffffffffffff83.
Now, 0xffffffffffffff83 + 0x7c gives us 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Techically 0x83 + 0x7c == 0xFF, we do not exceed 1 byte value, but
currently LLD errors out, because we use checkUInt<8>.
Let's try to use checkInt<8> now and the following code to see if it can help (no):
main.s:
.byte foo
input.s:
.globl foo
.hidden foo
foo = 0xff
Here, foo is 0xFF. And addend is 0x0. Final value is 0x00000000000000FF.
Again, it fits one byte well, but with checkInt<8>,
we would error out it, so we can't use it.
What we want to do is to check that the result fits 1 byte well.
Patch changes the check to checkIntUInt to fix the issue.
