Add replaceJump for a larger jump range.

On the Loong64 platform, there may be situations that are out of the
R_LARCH_B26 jump range. The previous commit added an additional
--ghc-options parameter, but the issue persists. The reason for this is
the lack of code for jump substitution, so we should add this part of
the code to make sure that the --ghc-options parameter works.

Please refer to the attachment for specific changes.
