bfd: xtensa: ignore overflow in hight part of const16 relocation

32-bit constants loaded by two const16 opcodes that involve relocation
(e.g. calculated as a sum of a symbol and a constant) may overflow,
resulting in linking error with the following message:

  dangerous relocation: const16: cannot encode: (_start+0x70000000)

They should wrap around instead. Limit const16 opcode immediate field to
16 least significant bits to implement this wrap around.
