    x86: Check MODRM for call and jmp in binutils older than 2.45
    
    When i386 glibc was assembled with commit:

        x86: widen @got{,pcrel} support to PUSH and APX IMUL
    
        With us doing the transformation to an immediate operand for MOV and
        various ALU insns, there's little reason to then not support the same
        conversion for the other two insns which have respective immediate
        operand forms. Unfortunately for IMUL (due to the 0F opcode prefix)
        there's no suitable relocation, so the pre-APX forms cannot be marked
        for relaxation in the assembler.
    
    "pushl main@GOT(%ebx)" in sysdeps/i386/start.S was assembled to
    
    1c: ff b3 00 00 00 00 push 0x0(%ebx) 1e: R_386_GOT32X main
    
    Linkers in binutils versions older than 2.45 treated it as jmp and relaxed
    it to
    
    22c: e9 cf ff ff ff   jmp    200 <main>
    231: 90               nop
    
    Update elf_i386_convert_load_reloc in binutils versions older than 2.45
    to check MODRM for call and jmp to work with i386 glibc assembled with
    binutils 2.45 or newer.  Do the same in elf_x86_64_convert_load_reloc.
    
            PR ld/32991
            * elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_convert_load_reloc): Check MODRM for
            call and jmp.
            * elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_convert_load_reloc): Likewise.
