RISC-V: Relax RISCV_PCREL_* to RISCV_GPREL_*
In the medany code model the compiler generates PCREL_HI20+PCREL_LO12 relocation pairs against local symbols because HI20+LO12 relocations can't reach high addresses. We relax HI20+LO12 pairs to GPREL relocations when possible, which is an important optimization for Dhrystone. Without this commit we are unable to relax PCREL_HI20+PCREL_LO12 pairs to GPREL when possible, causing a XX% permormance hit on Dhrystone on Rocket. Note that we'll now relax la gp, __global_pointer$ to mv gp, gp which probably isn't what you want in your entry code. Users who want gp-relative symbols to continue to resolve should add ".option norelax" accordingly. Due to this, the assembler now pairs PCREL relocations with RELAX relocations when they're expected to be relaxed.
