We can't (currently) meaningfully resolve certain types of relocations
against undefined data symbols. Previously when `--allow-undefined` was
used we were treating such relocation much like weak data symbols and
simply inserting zeros. This change turns such use cases in to an
error.
This means that `--allow-undefined` is no longer effective for data
symbols.

The initial version of this change effected more than just the
error message. This version is scoped down to only effect the error
itself.

For these types of relocations an absolute memory address is
required which is not possible for undefined data symbols. For symbols
that can be undefined at link time (i.e. external data symbols in
shared libraries) a different type of relocation (i.e. via a GOT) will
be needed.
