[PATCH v4 0/2] riscv: Add remaining module relocations and tests

A handful of module relocations were missing, this patch includes the
remaining ones. I also wrote some test cases to ensure that module
loading works properly. Some relocations cannot be supported in the
kernel, these include the ones that rely on thread local storage and
dynamic linking.

ULEB128 handling is a bit special because SET and SUB relocations must
happen together, and SET must happen before SUB. A psABI proposal [1]
mandates that the first SET_ULEB128 that appears before a SUB_ULEB128
is the associated SET_ULEB128.

This can be tested by enabling KUNIT, RUNTIME_KERNEL_TESTING_MENU, and
RISCV_MODULE_LINKING_KUNIT.
