x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE

The 32-bit x86 assembler in binutils 2.26 will generate R_386_GOT32X
relocation to get the symbol address in PIC.  When the compressed x86
kernel isn't built as PIC, the linker optimizes R_386_GOT32X relocations
to their fixed symbol addresses.  However, when the compressed x86
kernel is loaded at a different address, it leads to the following
load failure:

  Failed to allocate space for phdrs

during the decompression stage.

If the compressed x86 kernel is relocatable at run-time, it should be
compiled with -fPIE, instead of -fPIC, if possible and should be built as
Position Independent Executable (PIE) so that linker won't optimize
R_386_GOT32X relocation to its fixed symbol address.

Older linkers generate R_386_32 relocations against locally defined
symbols, _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot, in PIE.  It isn't wrong, just less
optimal than R_386_RELATIVE.  But the x86 kernel fails to properly handle
R_386_32 relocations when relocating the kernel.  To generate
R_386_RELATIVE relocations, we mark _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot as
hidden in both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 kernels.

To build a 64-bit compressed x86 kernel as PIE, we need to disable the
relocation overflow check to avoid relocation overflow errors. We do
this with a new linker command-line option, -z noreloc-overflow, which
got added recently:

    Add -z noreloc-overflow option to x86-64 ld

    Add -z noreloc-overflow command-line option to the x86-64 ELF linker to
    disable relocation overflow check.  This can be used to avoid relocation
    overflow check if there will be no dynamic relocation overflow at
    run-time.

The 64-bit compressed x86 kernel is built as PIE only if the linker supports
-z noreloc-overflow.  So far 64-bit relocatable compressed x86 kernel
boots fine even when it is built as a normal executable.
