[gold][patch] Plugin API and PIE binaries

Subject: [gold][patch] Plugin API and PIE binaries

I don't think there is any support for PIE in the current plugin api.
Gold currently only passes the plugin LDPO_EXEC, which causes problem
when the plugin then gives gold an object with invalid relocations.

The attached patches add a LDPO_PIE. I don't think this is a backward
compatibility problem, since any plugin producing code for a PIE
thinking it is a regular executable is already broken.

Cheers,
Rafael
