Introducing the "linker_weak" linkage type. This will be used for Objective-C

metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the linker will
remove upon final linkage. For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is
defined like this:

       .globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
       .weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
       .section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
       .align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
        .quad   _objc_msgSend_fixup
        .quad   L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1

This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
