LoongArch: Expand module virtual address space to 2GB
The current 256MB module virtual address space is easily exhausted when loading massive graphics drivers such as amdgpu along with the large unstripped symbol tables, resulting in allocation failures of "execmem: unable to allocate memory". Thus, expand the module virtual address space to 2GB while keeping the current normal code model '-mcmodel=normal', rather than using the medium code model '-mcmodel=medium'. This approach avoids the extra performance overhead and larger binary size of forcing every function call into a 2-instruction sequence of 'pcaddu18i + jirl'. Given that individual module code segments rarely exceed 128MB, most jumps remain fast direct calls by using the bl instruction. For the long-distance jumps exceeding the +/-128MB limit, apply_r_larch_b26() emits PLT entries, while signed_imm_check() guarantees the run-time safety by rejecting any out-of-bound instruction offsets. There is still a risk that the distance between .init.text and .text of the same module exceeds 128MB. So we divide the 2GB virtual space to be two sub-regions: the first 256MB is for module text, and the rest is for module data.
