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.

Before this patch, when you objdump an LLVM-compiled file, objdump tried to
decode data-in-code sections as if they were code. This patch adds the missing
Mapping Symbols, as defined by "ELF for the ARM Architecture" (ARM IHI 0044D).
Patch based on work by Greg Fitzgerald.

The condition code didn't actually matter for arm "b" instructions,
unlike "bl". It should just use the R_ARM_JUMP24 reloc.
