The change seems too large.  It would be better to split it into
multiple commits (for example, just 3 commits for 1,2,3 below).

It's better to add some test cases (with dg-final scan-assembler) for
this.  The test case will also show humans the intended behavior after
the change.

Why?  Does it means we'll rely on the assembler to emit the correct
sequence for -fno-plt?  Then it would be better to use a pseudo mnemonic
like "call" instead of "bl" (because it's not a single "bl"
instruction).

Don't copy MIPS code.

Nit: "loongarch_split_move_insn_p" shall start a new line.
