pbl: introduce CONFIG_PBL_FULLY_PIC
In the quest for making barebox PBL code W^X mappable, we have now taken care to make the ARM64 assembly routines not emit code relocations, so let's do the same for the C code as well. We do this by setting pragma GCC visibility push(hidden) globally. This option is stronger than -fvisibility=hidden and ensures we are completely position-independent. See kernel commit e544ea57ac07 ("x86/boot/compressed: Force hidden visibility for all symbol references") for more information.
