Subject: [PATCH v6 1/8] arch: enable relative relocations for arm64, power, x86, s390 and x86

Before updating certain subsystems to use place relative 32-bit
relocations in special sections, to save space  and reduce the
number of absolute relocations that need to be processed at runtime
by relocatable kernels, introduce the Kconfig symbol and define it
for some architectures that should be able to support and benefit
from it.
