cmd/link: split large elf text sections on ppc64x
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. Fixes #15823.
