Power10 pc-relative code doesn't use or preserve r2 as a TOC pointer.
That means calling between pc-relative and TOC using code can't be
done without intervening linker stubs, and a call from TOC code to
pc-relative code must have a nop after the bl in order to restore r2.

Now the PowerPC libffi assembly code doesn't use r2 except for the
implicit use when making calls back to C, ffi_closure_helper_LINUX64
and ffi_prep_args64.  So changing the assembly to interoperate with
pc-relative code without stubs is easily done.  Controlling that is a
new built-in macro.

Upstream libffi currently has a different patch applied to work around
the power10 build failure.  I'll post a delta for upstream.
Bootstrapped and regression tested on power8, built for power10.

gcc/
        * config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c (rs6000_target_modify_macros):
        Conditionally define __PCREL__.
libffi/
        * src/powerpc/linux64.S (ffi_call_LINUX64): Don't emit global
        entry when __PCREL__.  Call using @notoc.
        (ffi_closure_LINUX64, ffi_go_closure_linux64): Likewise.
