[PPC64] toc-indirect to toc-relative relaxation

This is based on D54720 by Sean Fertile.

When accessing a global symbol which is not defined in the translation unit,
compilers will generate instructions that load the address from the toc entry.

If the symbol is defined, non-preemptable, and addressable with a 32-bit
signed offset from the toc pointer, the address can be computed
directly. e.g.

    addis 3, 2, .LC0@toc@ha  # R_PPC64_TOC16_HA
    ld    3, .LC0@toc@l(3)   # R_PPC64_TOC16_LO_DS, load the address from a .toc entry
    ld/lwa 3, 0(3)           # load the value from the address

    .section .toc,"aw",@progbits
    .LC0: .tc var[TC],var

can be relaxed to

    addis 3,2,var@toc@ha     # this may be relaxed to a nop,
    addi  3,3,var@toc@l      # then this becomes addi 3,2,var@toc
    ld/lwa 3, 0(3)           # load the value from the address

We can delete the test ppc64-got-indirect.s as its purpose is covered by
newly added ppc64-toc-relax.s and ppc64-toc-relax-constants.s
