This patch introduces initial-exec model support for thread-local storage

on 64-bit PowerPC ELF.

The patch includes code to handle external assembly and MC output with the
integrated assembler.  It intentionally does not support the "old" JIT.

For the initial-exec TLS model, the ABI requires the following to calculate
the address of external thread-local variable x:

 Code sequence            Relocation                  Symbol
  ld 9,x@got@tprel(2)      R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL16_DS      x
  add 9,9,x@tls            R_PPC64_TLS                 x

The register 9 is arbitrary here.  The linker will replace x@got@tprel
with the offset relative to the thread pointer to the generated GOT
entry for symbol x.  It will replace x@tls with the thread-pointer
register (13).

The two test cases verify correct assembly output and relocation output
as just described.

PowerPC-specific selection node variants are added for the two
instructions above:  LD_GOT_TPREL and ADD_TLS.  These are inserted
when an initial-exec global variable is encountered by
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress(), and later lowered to
machine instructions LDgotTPREL and ADD8TLS.  LDgotTPREL is a pseudo
that uses the same LDrs support added for medium code model's LDtocL,
with a different relocation type.

The rest of the processing is straightforward.
