CodeGen: Optionally emit PAuth relocations as IRELATIVE relocations.

[pcc]

This supports the following use cases:

• ConstantPtrAuth expressions that are unrepresentable using standard PAuth
  relocations such as expressions involving an integer operand or
  deactivation symbols.
• libc implementations that do not support PAuth relocations.

For more information see the RFC:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-structure-protection-a-family-of-uaf-mitigation-techniques/85555

TODO:

• Add tests.
