firmware: Support position independent execution

Browse Source 
Enable OpenSBI to support position independent execution. Because the
position independent code will cause an additional GOT reference when
accessing the global variables, it will reduce performance a bit. Therefore,
the position independent execution is disabled by default. Users can
through specifying "FW_PIC=y" on the make command to enable this feature.

In theory, after enabling position-independent execution, the OpenSBI
can run at arbitrary address with appropriate alignment. Therefore, the
original relocation mechanism will be skipped. In other words, OpenSBI will
directly run at the load address without any code movement.
