[MIPS] Fix $gp usage
Now we load $gp with _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, but this is incorrect use.
As a general principle, we should use _gp for $gp.
Thanks to linker script's help we fortunately have _gp which equals to
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. But once _gp gets out of alignment, we will not
be able to access to GOT entires, global variables and procedure entry
points. The right thing to do is to use _gp.
This patch also introduce a new symbol `.gpword _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'
which holds the offset from _gp. When updating GOT entries, we use this
offset and _gp to calculate the final _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This patch is originally submitted by Vlad Lungu <vlad@comsys.ro>, then
I made some change to leave over num_got_entries.
