[PATCH] powerpc: Replace ppc64 DT_RELACOUNT usage with DT_RELASZ/24

[Fangrui Song]

DT_RELACOUNT is an ELF dynamic tag inherited from SunOS indicating the
number of R_*_RELATIVE relocations. It is optional but {ld.lld,ld.lld}
-z combreloc always creates it (if non-zero) to slightly speed up glibc
ld.so relocation resolving by avoiding R_*R_PPC64_RELATIVE type
comparison. The tag is otherwise nearly unused in the wild and I'd
recommend that software avoids using it.

lld>=14.0.0 (since commit da0e5b885b25cf4ded0fa89b965dc6979ac02ca9)
underestimates DT_RELACOUNT for ppc64 when position-independent long
branch thunks are used. Correcting it needs non-trivial arch-specific
complexity which I'd prefer to avoid. Since our code always compares the
relocation type with R_PPC64_RELATIVE, replacing every occurrence of
DT_RELACOUNT with DT_RELASZ/sizeof(Elf64_Rela)=DT_RELASZ/24 is a correct
alternative.

DT_RELASZ is in practice bounded by an uint32_t. Dividing x by 24 can be
implemented as (uint32_t)(x*0xaaaaaaab) >> 4.
