> `MacroAssembler::far_call`/`MacroAssembler::far_jump` are for generating calls of/jumps to targets which are inside `CodeCache` and can `relocInfo` types: `external_word_type`, `runtime_call_type` or `none`.
> This PR updates the description of the functions and adds an assert checking a `relocInfo` type.
> Tested a fastdebug build:
> - `gtest`: Passed
> - `tier1`: Passed
