[PATCH v1 2/2] LoongArch: Add call and tail pseudo instructions

We consider generating call and tail by default in the normal code model 
in the future,
and supporting relax to b/bl.


For the extreme code model,  the function call are implemented by no-plt.
There are two instruction sequences, the second will use got entry.
One call64 macro instruction can't expand to two instruction sequences.


int f();
         pcalau12i $r13,%pc_hi20(f)
         addi.d $r12,$r0,%pc_lo12(f)
         lu32i.d $r12,%pc64_lo20(f)
         lu52i.d $r12,$r12,%pc64_hi12(f)
         add.d $r12,$r13,$r12
         jirl    $r1,$r12,0


extern int f();
         pcalau12i $r13,%got_pc_hi20(f)
         addi.d $r12,$r0,%got_pc_lo12(f)
         lu32i.d $r12,%got64_pc_lo20(f)
         lu52i.d $r12,$r12,%got64_pc_hi12(f)
         ldx.d $r12,$r13,$r12
         jirl    $r1,$r12,0
