Subject: [PATCH] [JITLink][x86-64] Fix GOTPCRELX call/jmp relaxation to use
 PC-relative fixup

The GOTPCRELX optimization that relaxes `call *foo at GOTPCREL(%rip)` to
`addr32 call foo` and `jmp *foo at GOTPCREL(%rip)` to `jmp foo; nop` was
using `Pointer32` (absolute) as the edge kind. Since `e8`/`e9` are
PC-relative instructions, `applyFixup` wrote the absolute address of
the target instead of the PC-relative displacement, producing a garbage
destination address.

This caused SIGSEGV in non-PIE executables when JIT code was mapped far
from the target (e.g., an arena allocator at a high address calling a
symbol in the low 4 GB).

Fix:
- Change the guard from `TargetInRangeForImmU32` (absolute address fits
  in uint32) to `DisplacementInRangeForImmS32` (PC-relative displacement
  fits in int32), matching what `call rel32`/`jmp rel32` actually need.
- Change the edge kind from `Pointer32` to `BranchPCRel32` so
  `applyFixup` writes `Target - (Fixup + 4) + Addend`.

Update the existing test to validate the PC-relative displacement
instead of the absolute address, and add a regression test with JIT code
at 0x7fff00000000 and an extern at 0x00401000 to verify the relaxation
is correctly skipped when the displacement is out of range.
