powerpc: Define USE_PPC64_NOTOC iff compiler supports it
The @notoc usage only yields an advantage on ISA 3.1+ machine (power10) and for ld.bfd also when it sees pcrel relocations used on the code (generated if compiler targets ISA 3.1+). On bfd case ISA 3.1+ instruction on stubs are used iff linker also sees the new pc-relative relocations (for instance R_PPC64_D34), otherwise it generates default stubs (ppc64_elf_check_relocs:4700). This patch also help on linkers that do not implement this optimization, since building for older ISA (such as 3.0 / power9) will also trigger power10 stubs generation in the assembly code uses the NOTOC imacro. Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by:Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com> Reviewed-by:
