In PPC64 ELF files, the st_other field indicates the number of
prologue instructions between the global and local entry points.
We add the instructions in the compiler and assembler if -shared is used.
We were assuming that the instructions were present when building a
c-archive or PIE or doing dynamic linking, on the assumption that those
are the cases where the go tool would be building with -shared.
That assumption fails when using some other tool, such as Bazel,
that does not necessarily use -shared in exactly the same way.
This CL records in the object file whether a symbol was compiled
with -shared (this will be the same for all symbols in a given compilation)
and uses that information when setting the st_other field.
Fixes#20290.

Many (most!) of the values of objapi.SymKind are used only in the linker, so
this creates a separate cmd/link/internal/ld.SymKind type, removes most values
from SymKind and maps one to the other when reading object files in the linker.
Two of the remaining objapi.SymKind values are only checked for, never set and
so will never be actually found but I wanted to keep this to the most

In order to generate accurate tracebacks, the runtime needs to know the
inlined call stack for a given PC. This creates two tables per function
for this purpose. The first table is the inlining tree (stored in the
function's funcdata), which has a node containing the file, line, and
function name for every inlined call. The second table is a PC-value
table that maps each PC to a node in the inlining tree (or -1 if the PC
is not the result of inlining).
To give the appearance that inlining hasn't happened, the runtime also
needs the original source position information of inlined AST nodes.
Previously the compiler plastered over the line numbers of inlined AST
nodes with the line number of the call. This meant that the PC-line
table mapped each PC to line number of the outermost call in its inlined
call stack, with no way to access the innermost line number.
Now the compiler retains line numbers of inlined AST nodes and writes
the innermost source position information to the PC-line and PC-file
tables. Some tools and tests expect to see outermost line numbers, so we
provide the OutermostLine function for displaying line info.
To keep track of the inlined call stack for an AST node, we extend the
src.PosBase type with an index into a global inlining tree. Every time
the compiler inlines a call, it creates a node in the global inlining
tree for the call, and writes its index to the PosBase of every inlined
AST node. The parent of this node is the inlining tree index of the
call. -1 signifies no parent.
For each function, the compiler creates a local inlining tree and a
PC-value table mapping each PC to an index in the local tree. These are
written to an object file, which is read by the linker. The linker
re-encodes these tables compactly by deduplicating function names and
file names.
This change increases the size of binaries by 4-5%. For example, this is
how the go1 benchmark binary is impacted by this change:

Some applications built with Go on ppc64x with external linking
can fail to link with relocation truncation errors if the elf
text section that is generated is larger than 2^26 bytes and that
section contains a call instruction (bl) which calls a function
beyond the limit addressable by the 24 bit field in the
instruction.
This solution consists of generating multiple text sections where
each is small enough to allow the GNU linker to resolve the calls
by generating long branch code where needed. Other changes were added
to handle differences in processing when multiple text sections exist.
Some adjustments were required to the computation of a method's address
when using the method offset table when there are multiple text sections.
The number of possible section headers was increased to allow for up
to 128 text sections. A test case was also added.
