Currently for the branch insn like
"if $dst "#OpcodeStr#" $imm goto $BrDst"
The $BrDst range needs to be in the range of [INT16_MIN, INT16_MAX].
When running bpf selftest with latest llvm, I found
pyperf600.o generated insn with range outside
of [INT16_MIN, INT16_MAX], which caused verifier failure.
See below insn #12.

This patch added fatal error if out of range so compiler can warn
the otherwise incorrect code generation.
