Lynn Boger 30311e8860 cmd/compile: generate load without DS relocation for go.string on ppc64le
Due to some recent optimizations related to the compare
instruction, DS-form load instructions started to be used
to load 8-byte go.strings. This can cause link time errors
if the go.string is not aligned to 4 bytes.

For DS-form instructions, the value in the offset field must
be a multiple of 4. If the offset is known at the time the
rules are processed, a DS-form load will not be chosen. But for
go.strings, the offset is not known at that time, but a
relocation is generated indicating that the linker should fill
in the DS relocation. When the linker tries to fill in the
relocation, if the offset is not aligned properly, a link error
will occur.

To fix this, when loading a go.string using MOVDload, the full
address of the go.string is generated and loaded into the base
register. Then the go.string is loaded with a 0 offset field.

Added a testcase that reproduces this problem.

Fixes #24799
