rS345676: powerpc64: Use medium code model in asm files for TOC references

Summary

With a sufficiently large TOC, it's possible to index out of range, as
the immediate load instructions only permit 16-bit indices, allowing up
to 64kB range (signed) from the base pointer. Allow +/- 2GB range, with
the medium code model TOC accesses in asm.

Patch originally by Brandon Bergren. The issue appears to impact ELFv2
more than ELFv1.

LGTM.
I see this is basically a subset of D19352, with the exception of booke/locore.S, right?
BTW, I need to come back to D19352 and refactor it.

Correct. It didn't logically belong with D19352, and probably other chunks of D19352 can be broken out, too, into more consumable pieces. The booke part I added for completness/consistency sake.
