Remove incredibly confusing isBaseAddressKnownZero.

When referring to a symbol in a dwarf section on ELF we should use

.long foo

instead of

.long foo - .debug_something

because ELF is unaware of the content of the sections and therefore needs
relocations. This has nothing to do with optimizing a -0.
