powerpc/boot: Stop using RELACOUNT

So far the RELACOUNT tag from the ELF header was containing the exact
number of R_PPC_RELATIVE/R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocations. However the LLVM's
recent change [1] make it equal-or-less than the actual number which
makes it useless.

This replaces RELACOUNT in zImage loader with a pair of RELASZ and RELAENT.
The vmlinux relocation code is fixed in commit d7997691
("powerpc/64: Add UADDR64 relocation support").

To make it more future proof, this walks through the entire .rela.dyn
section instead of assuming that the section is sorter by a relocation
type. Unlike d7997691, this does not add unaligned UADDR/UADDR64
relocations as we are likely not to see those in practice - the zImage
is small and very arch specific so there is a smaller chance that some
generic feature (such as PRINK_INDEX) triggers unaligned relocations.
