Lucas Clemente Vella b06fa28c7e Translating RISC-V programs directly from ELF files. (#1453) ...

There are many advantages in using standard assemblers and linkers,
like:
- maturity;
- more complete support of assembly language, which in turn allows for
support to more high level languages and compilers;
- link-time optimizations;
- no need to deal with language edge cases (our assembler and linker
deals with a number of rust stuff, but it would need even more to
support `std`).

But it comes with a cost, as we need to lift references to text data
back into labels, (because powdr operates on a higher abstraction
level), and to do that, we need the ELF file to either be a PIE
(Position Independent Executable), or to still have the linkage
relocation tables (option `--emit-relocs` of GNU and LLVM linkers).
