    alpha: allocate R_ALPHA_IRELATIVE
    
    R_ALPHA_IRELATIVE is the dynamic relocation that runs an IFUNC's
    resolver and stores the address it returns, applied by the dynamic
    linker or, in a static executable, by libc's startup code. Alpha had no
    number for it.
    
    Take 42, the first free number after R_ALPHA_TPREL16. The number is
    being claimed here and in the matching glibc submission; nothing else
    uses it, and no dynamic linker implements the relocation yet. glibc's
    elf/elf.h carries its own copy of these definitions, so the two have to
    be kept in sync.
    
    This adds only the number, the howto, the entry in the BFD reloc map
    that every other target with an IRELATIVE has, and the reloc class. The
    linker support that produces the relocation follows.
