RISCV: Remove shouldForceRelocation and unneeded relocations
Follow-up to #140494

`shouldForceRelocation` is conservative and produces redundant
relocations.

For example, RISCVAsmBackend::ForceRelocs (introduced to support mixed
relax/norelax code) leads to redundant relocations in the following
example adapted from #77436

```
.option norelax
j label
// For assembly input, RISCVAsmParser::ParseInstruction sets ForceRelocs (https://reviews.llvm.org/D46423).
// For direct object emission, RISCVELFStreamer sets ForceRelocs (#77436)
.option relax
call foo  // linker-relaxable

.option norelax
j label   // redundant relocation due to ForceRelocs
.option relax

label:
```

Root problem: The `isSymbolRefDifferenceFullyResolvedImpl` condition in
MCAssembler::evaluateFixup does not check whether two locations are
separated by a fragment whose size can be indeterminate due to linker
instruction (e.g. MCDataFragment with relaxation, or MCAlignFragment
due to indeterminate start offst).

This patch

* Updates the fragment walk code in
  `attemptToFoldSymbolOffsetDifference` to treat MCRelaxableFragment
  (for --riscv-asm-relax-branches) as fixed size after finishLayout.
* Adds a condition in `addReloc` to complement
  `isSymbolRefDifferenceFullyResolvedImpl`.
* Removes the no longer needed `shouldForceRelocation`.

This fragment walk code path handles nicely handles
mixed relax/norelax case from
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/possible-problem-related-to-subtarget-usage/75283
and allows us to remove `MCSubtargetInfo` argument (#73721) as a follow-up.

This fragment walk code should be avoided in the absence of
linker-relaxable fragments within the current section.

Adjust two bolt/test/RISCV tests (#141310)
