This is a general cleanup of the relocatable kernel support on powerpc,
needed to enable kernel ifuncs.
* Fix some relocatable issues in the kernel linker, and change to using
a RELOCATABLE_KERNEL #define instead of #ifdef __powerpc__ for parts that
other platforms can use in the future if they wish to have ET_DYN kernels.
* Get rid of the DB_STOFFS hack now that the kernel is relocated to the DMAP
properly across the board on powerpc64.
* Add powerpc64 and powerpc32 ifunc functionality.
* Allow AIM64 virtual mode OF kernels to run from the DMAP like other AIM64
by implementing a virtual mode restart. This fixes the runtime address on
PowerMac G5.
* Fix symbol relocation problems on post-relocation kernels by relocating
the symbol table.
* Add an undocumented method for supplying kernel symbols on powernv and
other powerpc machines using linux-style kernel/initrd loading -- If
you pass the kernel in as the initrd as well, the copy resident in initrd
will be used as a source for symbols when initializing the debugger.
This method is subject to removal once we have a better way of doing this.

Fix wrong section ordering that was causing a ".got is not contiguous with
other relro sections" lld error. This also brings ldscript.powerpc and
ldscript.powerpcspe closer to ldscript.powerpc64.
Also, remove unnecessary text relocs from the ppc32 AIM trap code.

After our migration (of certain architectures) to lld the kernel is built
with a unique build-ID. Make it available via a sysctl and uname(1) to
allow the user to identify their running kernel.

The linker script CONSTRUCTORS keyword is only meaningful "when linking
object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as
ECOFF and XCOFF"[1] and is ignored for other object file formats.
LLVM's lld does not yet accept (and ignore) CONSTRUCTORS, so just remove
CONSTRUCTORS from the linker scripts as it has no effect.

The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils
