Summary:
When `+RTS -xp` is passed, when don't need the X86_64_ELF_NONPIC_HACK,
becasue the relocation offset should only be out of range if

* the object file was not compiled with `-fPIC -fexternal-dynamic-refs`;
* ghc generates non-pic code while it should (e.g. #15723)

In either case, we should print an error message rather that silently
attempt to use a hacky workaround that may not work.

This could have made debugging #15723 and #15729 much easier.

Test Plan:
Run this in a case where ghci used to crash becasue of T15723. Now we
see helpful message like:

```
ghc-iserv-prof: R_X86_64_PC32 relocation out of range:
stmzm2zi4zi4zi1zmJQn4hNPyYjP5m9AcbI88Ve_ControlziConcurrentziSTMziTMVar_readTMVar_C61n_cc
= 9b95ffac
```
