Use New Module Metadata String "AvoidPLT" to avoid calls via PLT

Summary

Introduce a Module Metadata String "AvoidPLT" to avoid calls via PLT.

Annotating functions with nonlazybind attribute to avoid the PLT does not work for intrinsics. Intrinsics need to be handled specially and it seems easier to handle them by just annotating the module.

AvoidPLT doesn't seem like the best name. A more affirmative name like "RtlibUseGOT" might be better.

Maybe this should check Val->getZExtValue for a non-zero value.

Can you test a few other RTLIB functions like i128 multiply and memset, just for generality?
