Hal Finkel 530fa5fcc9 [PowerPC] Account for the ELFv2 function prologue during branch selection ...

The PPC branch-selection pass, which performs branch relaxation, needs to
account for the padding that might be introduced to satisfy block alignment
requirements. We were assuming that the first block was at offset zero (i.e.
had the alignment of the function itself), but under the ELFv2 ABI, a global
entry function prologue is added to the first block, and it is a
two-instruction sequence (i.e. eight-bytes long). If the function has 16-byte
alignment, the fact that the first block is eight bytes offset from the start
of the function is relevant to calculating where padding will be added in
between later blocks.

Unfortunately, I don't have a small test case.
