Joel Sing 3bbc82371e cmd/internal/obj/riscv,cmd/link/internal/riscv64: add call trampolines for riscv64
CALL and JMP on riscv64 are currently implemented as an AUIPC+JALR pair. This means
that every call requires two instructions and makes use of the REG_TMP register,
even when the symbol would be directly reachable via a single JAL instruction.

Add support for call trampolines - CALL and JMP are now implemented as a single JAL
instruction, with the linker generating trampolines in the case where the symbol is
not reachable (more than +/-1MiB from the JAL instruction), is an unknown symbol or
does not yet have an address assigned. Each trampoline contains an AUIPC+JALR pair,
which the relocation is applied to.

Due to the limited reachability of the JAL instruction, combined with the way that
the Go linker currently assigns symbol addresses, there are cases where a call is to
a symbol that has no address currently assigned. In this situation we have to assume
that a trampoline will be required, however we can patch this up during relocation,
potentially calling directly instead. This means that we will end up with trampolines
that are unused. In the case of the Go binary, there are around 3,500 trampolines of
which approximately 2,300 are unused (around 9200 bytes of machine instructions).

Overall, this removes over 72,000 AUIPC instructions from the Go binary.
