[MC][ARM] Emit R_ARM_BASE_PREL for _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ expressions
The _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ in SysVr4 ELF is conventionally the base of the
.got or .got.prel sections. Expressions such as _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
- (.L1 +8) are used in assembler code to calculate offsets into the .got.
At present MC outputs a R_ARM_REL32 with respect to the
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol, whereas gas outputs a R_ARM_BASE_PREL
relocation with respect to the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol. While both are
correct the R_ARM_REL32 depends on the value of the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
symbol, wheras te R_ARM_BASE_PREL relocation is idependent of the symbol.
The R_ARM_BASE_PREL is therefore slightly more robust to linker's that may
not follow the conventional placement of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_; for example
LLD for some time defined _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to 0.
