Replace GOT indirect addressing with more efficient pic-base relative addressing for initialized data (uninitialized data still use GOTi indirect addressing).  This also reduces code size by 0.4% compared to -fPIC.

Applies clean to u-boot/next.

Tested on da850evm; u-boot loads and gives the "DA850-evm >" prompt.
