Emit the AArch64 trampoline only if the address is more than 27 bits range.
Enable the PLT for Linux AArch64: without it no trampolines are emitted at all and symbols are referenced via the GOT.

This is needed otherwise trampolines are not generated at all and everything is referenced via the GOT. if you prefer, we can have this as separate PR.

Yeah, this seems like this slows Linux down. Let's drop it.

Yep, looks good!

Looks like it's ~0.4% slower on Linux, and ~0.8% faster on macOS (with 20-25% faster startup!). Maybe, given the results, we should roll back the new -fplt option for Linux? Otherwise, I think this makes sense to land.
