PowerPC64: Report overflow on @h and @ha relocations
This patch updates glibc in accordance with the binutils patch checked in here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00372.html

This changes the various R_PPC64_..._HI and _HA relocations to report
32-bit overflows.  The motivation is that existing uses of @h / @ha
are to build up 32-bit offsets (for the "medium model" TOC access
that GCC now defaults to), and we'd really like to see failures at
link / load time rather than silent truncations.

For those rare cases where a modifier is needed to build up a 64-bit
constant, new relocations _HIGH / _HIGHA are supported.

The patch also fixes a bug in overflow checking for the R_PPC64_ADDR30
and R_PPC64_ADDR32 relocations.
