This pull request fixes the linkage for large binaries on mips64 platforms by enabling the xgot feature in LLVM.

It is well understood that the generated binary will gain a hefty performance penalty where the external symbol jumps now cost at least three instructions each.

Also, this pull request does not address the same issue on the mips32 counterparts (due to being unable to test the changes thoroughly).

Should fix #52108

Is it reasonable to write a test for this? Or is this fact that it only triggers for large binaries make that intractable?

Usually, it will trigger when the external symbol is situated in a location that is not encode-able into an ld instruction. As you can see from the assembly, the xgot basically workaround this by loading high bits and low bits separately into the register to avoid this situation.

Fix linkage for large binaries on mips64 platforms

This pull request fixes the linkage for large binaries on mips64 platforms by enabling the `xgot` feature in LLVM.

It is well understood that the generated binary will gain a hefty performance penalty where the external symbol jumps now cost at least three instructions each.

Also, this pull request does not address the same issue on the mips32 counterparts (due to being unable to test the changes thoroughly).
