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.

for a wider range of GOT entries that can hold thread-relative offsets.
This matches the behavior of GCC, which was not documented in the PPC64 TLS
ABI. The ABI will be updated with the new code sequence.
Former sequence:
ld 9,x@got@tprel(2)
add 9,9,x@tls
New sequence:
addis 9,2,x@got@tprel@ha
ld 9,x@got@tprel@l(9)
add 9,9,x@tls
Note that a linker optimization exists to transform the new sequence into
the shorter sequence when appropriate, by replacing the addis with a nop
and modifying the base register and relocation type of the ld.

on 64-bit PowerPC ELF.
The patch includes code to handle external assembly and MC output with the
integrated assembler. It intentionally does not support the "old" JIT.
For the initial-exec TLS model, the ABI requires the following to calculate
the address of external thread-local variable x:
Code sequence Relocation Symbol
ld 9,x@got@tprel(2) R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL16_DS x
add 9,9,x@tls R_PPC64_TLS x
The register 9 is arbitrary here. The linker will replace x@got@tprel
with the offset relative to the thread pointer to the generated GOT
entry for symbol x. It will replace x@tls with the thread-pointer
register (13).
The two test cases verify correct assembly output and relocation output
as just described.
PowerPC-specific selection node variants are added for the two
instructions above: LD_GOT_TPREL and ADD_TLS. These are inserted
when an initial-exec global variable is encountered by
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress(), and later lowered to
machine instructions LDgotTPREL and ADD8TLS. LDgotTPREL is a pseudo
that uses the same LDrs support added for medium code model's LDtocL,
with a different relocation type.
The rest of the processing is straightforward.
