This commit enables the indirect function (IFUNC) tests for the alpha target by removing it from the skip list in ifunc.exp. It also updates the ld/NEWS file to reflect that the alpha target supports IFUNCs using the new R_ALPHA_IRELATIVE relocation, though a matching C library is still required for runtime execution. Static linking of IFUNC addresses is noted as unsupported.
