Add support for 'bla' instruction.
This is done by 'flagging' the address as an absolute address so that
arch_jump_destination() can calculate it as expected. Because code is
_always_ 4 bytes aligned, use bit 30 as flag.
Also add support for 'b' and 'ba' instructions. Objtool call them jumps.
And make sure the special 'bl .+4' used by clang in relocatable code is
not seen as an 'unannotated intra-function call'. clang should use the
special 'bcl 20,31,.+4' form like gcc but for the time being it does not
so lets work around that.

v5: Add a special case for clang to ignore 'bl .+4' form.
