Seems like we will need to renumber these internally relocations in the
future frequently, so probably need other solutions.

For now I think we only have five internal relocations,
R_RISCV_GPREL_I/S
R_RISCV_TPREL_I/S
R_RISCV_DELETE

There are two ways to go,

1. Renumber these internal relocations from last (R_RISCV_max) to forward
(R_RISCV_max-1, R_RISCV_max -2).
This will ensure we have a safe time until these internal relocations
overlap with the regular ones defined in the psabi.

2. Don't define these internal relocations in the howto table
The howto of GPREL_I/S and TPREL_I/S are basically the same as the howto of
GPREL_LO12_I/S and TPREL_LO12_I/S.  Therefore, we probably can define them
from R_RISCV_max to R_RISCV_max + n, just like what we did for
R_RISCV_DELETE.

Currently, for R_RISCV_TPREL_I/S, we converted it from
R_RISCV_TPREL_LO12_I/S in the relax_section, and changed the base register
to tp in relocate_section.  We probably can convert the reloc types back to
R_RISCV_TPREL_I/S after changing the base register (
https://github.com/bminor/binutils-gdb/blob/master/bfd/elfnn-riscv.c#L2736),
so that the perform_relocation will still do the right thing, and also make
sure that --emit-reloc is still working.

For R_RISCV_GPREL_I/S, since they should do the same thing with the regular
R_RISCV_GPREL_LO12_I/S, we could wait until the regular relocs are
supported, and then renumber and dealt with the internal ones.

Thanks
