add support for powerpc/powerpc64 unaligned relocations
R_PPC_UADDR32 (R_PPC64_UADDR64) has the same meaning as R_PPC_ADDR32 (R_PPC64_ADDR64), except that its address need not be aligned. For powerpc64, BFD ld(1) will automatically convert between ADDR<->UADDR relocations when the address is/isn't at its native alignment. This will happen if, for example, there is a pointer in a packed struct. gold and lld do not currently generate R_PPC64_UADDR64, but pass through misaligned R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocations from object files, possibly relaxing them to misaligned R_PPC64_RELATIVE. In both cases (relaxed or not) this violates the PSABI, which defines the relevant field type as "a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes, the alignment of which is 8 bytes unless otherwise specified." All three linkers violate the PSABI on 32-bit powerpc, where the only difference is that the field is 32 bits wide, aligned to 4 bytes. Currently musl fails to load executables linked by BFD ld containing R_PPC64_UADDR64, with the error "unsupported relocation type 43". This change provides compatibility with BFD ld on powerpc64, and any static linker on either architecture that starts following the PSABI more closely.
