Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] LoongArch: Stop using undocumented assembler options

Now we can handle GOT and GOT-based relocations properly, remove the
undocumented `-Wa,-mla-{global,local}-with-{pcrel,abs}` assembler hacks.

And, -fplt is the default of all supported compilers (GCC, and maybe
Clang in the future), so it can be removed as well.

Adjust assembly code to explicitly use "la.pcrel" where necessary.
