[PATCH] Expand PIC calls without PLT with -fno-plt


This patch introduces option -fno-plt that allows to expand calls that would
go via PLT to load the address of the function immediately at call site (which
introduces a GOT load).  Cover letter explains the motivation for this patch.

New option documentation for invoke.texi is missing from the patch; if this is
accepted I'll be happy to send a v2 with documentation added.

	* calls.c (prepare_call_address): Transform PLT call to GOT lookup and
	indirect call by forcing address into a pseudo with -fno-plt.
	* common.opt (flag_plt): New option.
