[PATCH] Introduce new gold plugin option "relocation-pic"

[Alexey Volkov]

Clang should pass some option to linker (e.g. -pie) when compiling for
Android.
But in case of static executable (-static linker option) I see no way to
pass PIC/PIE mode through linker since static and pie are incompatible
linker options.

Best regards,
Alexey
