cmd/internal/obj/arm64: add support of PCALIGN directive

Recently, we get requirements of instructions and functions alignment
from the gVisor project. To fit the alignment requirement of interrupt
table, they require an instruction's address to be aligned 128 bytes
and a function's entry address to be aligned 2K bytes. Thus we add
support for PCALIGN directive first. Below is a discussion about this
topic. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/golang-dev/RPj90l5x86I

Functions in Go are aligned to 16 bytes on arm64, thus now we only
support 8 and 16 bytes alignment.

This patch adds support for PCALIGN directive. This directive can be
used within Go asm to align instruction by padding NOOP directives.

This patch also adds a test to verify the correnctness of the PCALIGN
directive. The test is contributed by Fannie Zhang <Fannie.Zhang@arm.com>.
