Various improvement:
Some offsets in disassembly are incorrect after several layout adjustment. Fix them.
llvm-objdump -D should not be used. -D dumps unrelated non-text sections. Replace them with llvm-objdump -d, llvm-readelf -x, etc
Many llvm-objdump -d tests use {{.*}} . Add the option --no-show-raw-insn to avoid check hex bytes.
ppc64-long-branch.s does not need a shared object. Delete it.
Make ppc64-ifunc.s check 2 ifuncs.

The access sequence for global variables in the medium and large code models use
2 instructions to add an offset to the toc-pointer. If the offset fits whithin
16-bits then the instruction that sets the high 16 bits is redundant.
This patch adds the --toc-optimize option, (on by default) and enables rewriting
of 2 instruction global variable accesses into 1 when the offset from the
TOC-pointer to the variable (or .got entry) fits in 16 signed bits. eg
addis %r3, %r2, 0 --> nop
addi %r3, %r3, -0x8000 --> addi %r3, %r2, -0x8000
This rewriting can be disabled with the --no-toc-optimize flag
