Many Operand's are not annotated as OPERAND_PCREL.
They are not affected (e.g. `b .+67108860`). I plan to fix them in future patches.

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`
line and causes the next `CHECK-NEXT:` to fail.

ThunkSection contains 4-byte instructions on all targets that use
thunks. Thunks should not be used in any performance sensitive places,
and locality/cache line/instruction fetching arguments should not apply.
We use 16 bytes as preferred function alignments for modern PowerPC cores.
In any case, 8 is not optimal.

This change affects the non-linker script case (precisely, when the
`SECTIONS` command is not used). It deletes 3 alignments at PT_LOAD
boundaries for the default case: the size of a powerpc64 binary can be
decreased by at most 192kb. The technique can be ported to other
targets.
Let me demonstrate the idea with a maxPageSize=65536 example:
When assigning the address to the first output section of a new PT_LOAD,
if the end p_vaddr of the previous PT_LOAD is 0x10020, we advance to
the next multiple of maxPageSize: 0x20000. The new PT_LOAD will thus
have p_vaddr=0x20000. Because p_offset and p_vaddr are congruent modulo
maxPageSize, p_offset will be 0x20000, leaving a p_offset gap [0x10020,
0x20000) in the output.
Alternatively, if we advance to 0x20020, the new PT_LOAD will have
p_vaddr=0x20020. We can pick either 0x10020 or 0x20020 for p_offset!
Obviously 0x10020 is the choice because it leaves no gap. At runtime,
p_vaddr will be rounded down by pagesize (65536 if
pagesize=maxPageSize). This PT_LOAD will load additional initial
contents from p_offset ranges [0x10000,0x10020), which will also be
loaded by the previous PT_LOAD. This is fine if -z noseparate-code is in
effect or if we are not transiting between executable and non-executable
segments.
ld.bfd -z noseparate-code leverages this technique to keep output small.
This patch implements the technique in lld, which is mostly effective on
targets with large defaultMaxPageSize (AArch64/MIPS/PPC: 65536). The 3
removed alignments can save almost 3*65536 bytes.
Two places that rely on p_vaddr%pagesize = 0 have to be updated.
1) We used to round p_memsz(PT_GNU_RELRO) up to commonPageSize (defaults
to 4096 on all targets). Now p_vaddr%commonPageSize may be non-zero.
The updated formula takes account of that factor.
2) Our TP offsets formulae are only correct if p_vaddr%p_align = 0.
Fix them. See the updated comments in InputSection.cpp for details.
On targets that we enable the technique (only PPC64 now),
we can potentially make `p_vaddr(PT_TLS)%p_align(PT_TLS) != 0`
if `sh_addralign(.tdata) < sh_addralign(.tbss)`
This exposes many problems in ld.so implementations, especially the
offsets of dynamic TLS blocks. Known issues:
FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT rtld-elf (i386/amd64/powerpc/arm64)
glibc (HEAD) i386 and x86_64 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24606
musl<=1.1.22 on TLS Variant I architectures (aarch64/powerpc64/...)
So, force p_vaddr%p_align = 0 by rounding dot up to p_align(PT_TLS).
The technique will be enabled (with updated tests) for other targets in
subsequent patches.

Suggested by Sean Fertile and Peter Smith.
Thunk section spacing decrease the total number of thunks. I measured a
decrease of 1% or less in some large programs, with no perceivable
slowdown in link time. Override getThunkSectionSpacing() to enable it.
0x2000000 is the farthest point R_PPC64_REL24 can reach. I tried several
numbers and found 0x2000000 works the best. Numbers near 0x2000000 work
as well but let's just use the simpler number.
As demonstrated by the updated tests, this essentially changes placement
of most thunks to the end of the output section. We leverage this
property to fix PR40740 reported by Alfredo Dal'Ava Júnior:
The output section .init consists of input sections from several object
files (crti.o crtbegin.o crtend.o crtn.o). Sections other than the last
one do not have a terminator. With this patch, we create the thunk after
the last .init input section and thus fix the issue. This is not
foolproof but works quite well for such sections (with no terminator) in
practice.

On PowerPC calls to functions through the plt must be done through a call stub
that is responsible for:
1) Saving the toc pointer to the stack.
2) Loading the target functions address from the plt into both r12 and the
count register.
3) Indirectly branching to the target function.
Previously we have been emitting these call stubs to the .plt section, however
the .plt section should be reserved for the lazy symbol resolution stubs. This
patch moves the call stubs to the text section by moving the implementation from
writePlt to the thunk framework.

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.

Lazy binding is quite important for use case like a shared build of
llvm. Also, if someone wants to disable it, it is better done in the
compiler (disable plt generation).
The only reason to keep it is to make it easier to add a new
architecture. But it doesn't really help much as it is possible to start
with non lazy relocation and plt code but still let the generic part
create a dedicated .got.plt and .rela.plt.
