For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

gun as does. This makes it a lot easier to compare the output of both
as the addresses are now a lot closer.

The failures in r116753 r116756 were caused by a python issue -
Python likes to append 'L' suffix to stringified numbers if the number
is larger than a machine int. Unfortunately, this causes a divergence of
behavior between 32 and 64 bit python versions.
I re-crafted elf-dump/common_dump to take care of these issues by:
1. always printing 0x (makes for easy sed/regex)
2. always print fixed length (exactly 2 + numBits/4 digits long)
by mod ((2^numBits) - 1)
3. left-padded with '0'
There is a residual common routine that is also used by
macho-dump (dataToHex) , so I left the 'section_data' test values alone.

With this patch in
movq $foo, foo(%rip)
foo:
.long foo
We produce a R_X86_64_32S for the first relocation and R_X86_64_32 for the
second one.
