create-diff-object: support ppc64le relative jump labels 

RHEL-9 integration tests revealed that the kernel now makes use of
R_PPC64_REL64 relocations in the jump table, but need_dynrela() contains
code to specifically skip any R_PPC64_REL64 type when determining if a
relocation should be turned into dynrela.

Kamalesh Babulal explains:

  I tried digging a little deeper and the upstream Kernel commit
  b0b3b2c78ec (powerpc: Switch to relative jump labels) in v5.13,
  introduced the change of generating relocation entries of type
  R_PPC64_REL64, instead of absolute relocation type R_PPC64_ADDR64:

  Relocation section '.rela__jump_table' at offset 0x1a87d8 contains 303 entries:
      Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name + Addend
  ...
  00000000000003c8  000007910000002c R_PPC64_REL64          0000000000000000 __tracepoint_netif_receive_skb + 8
  ...

Relax the existing check in need_dynrela() for .rela__jump_table
R_PPC64_REL64 relocations in case we need dynrelas for them.
