For instructions like call foo and jmp foo patch changes
relocation produced from R_X86_64_PC32 to R_X86_64_PLT32.
Relocation can be used as a marker for 32-bit PC-relative branches.
Linker will reduce PLT32 relocation to PC32 if function is defined locally.

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 calls to weak symbols with a definition has the appearance of working
with LLVM-generated code because weak symbol definitions are put in their
own sections.
