util: Implement PIC assembly for the aarch64.

When accessing m5_mem and building PIC code, we need to get the address
of m5_mem out of the global offset table, and then load the value from
there. If we try to load from m5_mem directly, the assembled code has a
relocation type the linker can't handle when building a shared object.
