The fixes are to note that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local
relocations can be used. In particular, ld64 requires that relocations to
cstring/cfstrings use linker visible symbols.
Original message:
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.
Thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for testing this!
Remove doesSectionRequireSymbols.

On x86_64 this brings it from 80 bytes to 64 bytes. Also make any member
variables private and clean up uses to go through the existing accessors.

I discovered this const-hole while attempting to coalesnce the Symbol
and SymbolMap data structures. There's some pending issues with that,
but I figured this change was easy to flush early.

This reverts commits r189319 and r189315. r189315 broke some tests on what I
believe are big-endian platforms.

this records relocation entries in the mach-o object file
for PIC code generation.
tested on powerpc-darwin8, validated against darwin otool -rvV
