PPC64 maintains a compiler managed got in the .toc section. When accessing a
global variable through got-indirect access, a .toc entry is created for the
variable. The relocation for the got-indirect access will refer to the .toc
section rather than the symbol that is actually accessed. The .toc entry
contains the address of the global variable. We evaluate the offset from
r2 (which is the TOC base) to the address of the toc entry for the global
variable. Currently, the .toc is not near the .got. This causes errors because
the offset from r2 to the toc section is too large. The linker needs to add
all the .toc input sections to the .got output section, merging the compiler
managed got with the linker got. This ensures that the offsets from the TOC
base to the toc entries are not too large.
This patch puts the .toc section right after the .got section.

The current support for V1 ABI in LLD is incomplete.
This patch removes V1 ABI support and changes the default behavior to V2 ABI,
issuing an error when using the V1 ABI. It also updates the testcases to V2
and removes any V1 specific tests.

PPC64 V2 ABI describes two entry points to a function. The global entry point
sets up the TOC base pointer. When calling a local function, the call should
branch to the local entry point rather than the global entry point.
Section 3.4.1 describes using the 3 most significant bits of the st_other
field to find out how many instructions there are between the local and global
entry point. This patch adds the correct offset required to branch to the local
entry point of a function.
