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

[Alexey Volkov]

Sorry, about -static I wasn't right: there are no problems on Android with
them since there are no relocations in static executable.
The original problem is that COPY relocations are not supported on Android
so PIC is used by default.
Without new gold plugin option the only way I see is to pass -pie to linker
only when building dynamic executable, is it right?
