2a6d72534d firmware: Remove handling of R_RISCV_{32,64}
Since everything is statically linked, we won't actually have
R_RISCV_{32,64} relocations. No need to handle these.

0f20e8adcf firmware: Support position independent execution
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.
