MIPS: Add CONFIG_RELOCATABLE Kconfig option 

Add option to KConfig to enable the kernel to relocate itself at
runtime.

Relocation is supported R2 and later of the MIPS architecture, 32bit
and 64bit. The platform is also required to provide support through
plat_get_fdt() added in a later patch.

This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
The relocations make the kernel binary about 15% larger,
