Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] LoongArch: Remove -fplt and -Wa,-mla-* from CFLAGS

-fplt is the default of all supported compilers (GCC, and maybe Clang in
the future), so it needs not to be explicitly specified.

-Wa,-mla-* options were used to prevent the assembler from generating
GOT accesses for "la.local" and "la.global" macros.  But GCC >= 13 will
generate GOT access explicitly without use of these macros, so these
options are ineffective for symbol addressing in C code with GCC >= 13.
Now we can handle GOT and GOT-based relocations properly, so we can
remove these options and use GOT access for both GCC 12 and 13
(or newer).

GAS <= 2.39 does not support "la.got [reg], [sym] + [offset]" with a
non-zero offset.  So in the assembly code we explicitly use "la.pcrel"
instead of "la" (now defaulted to "la.got") where a PC-relative
addressing is suitable, in order to work around this limitation and keep
the compatibility with old toolchains.
