powerpc/boot: Allow building the zImage wrapper as a relocatable ET_DYN

This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow
building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent
executable.  This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output
file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will
process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address.

This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format
must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to
produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image).

Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything.
