MC: Add support for treating $ as a reference to the PC
The binutils assembler supports a mode called DOLLAR_DOT which treats
the dollar sign token as a reference to the current program counter if
the dollar sign doesn't precede a constant or identifier.
This commit adds a new MCAsmInfo flag stating whether or not a given
target supports this interpretation of the dollar sign token; by
default, this flag is not enabled.
Further, enable this flag for PPC. The system assembler for AIX and
binutils both support using the dollar sign in this manner.
This fixes PR17353.
