When fixing up BL instructions, the linker has to compare the thumbness of the
target to decide if the instruction needs to be converted to BLX. But with B
instruction there is no BX, so the linker asserts if the target is not the
same thumbness. This assert was firing in -r mode when the target was undefined
which it interpreted as being non-thumb.
Test case change is to add a B (in both thumb and arm code) to an undefined
symbol and round trip through -r mode.

Arm code has two instruction encodings "thumb" and "arm". When branching from
one code encoding to another, you need to use an instruction that switches
the instruction mode. Usually the transition only happens at call sites, and
the linker can transform a BL instruction in BLX (or vice versa). But if the
compiler did a tail call optimization and a function ends with a branch (not
branch and link), there is no pc-rel BX instruction.
The ShimPass looks for pc-rel B instructions that will need to switch mode.
For those cases it synthesizes a shim which does the transition, then modifies
the original atom with the B instruction to target to the shim atom.

This patch just supports marking ranges that are thumb code (vs arm code).
Future patches will mark data and jump table ranges. The ranges are encoded
as References with offsetInAtom being the start of the range and the target
being the same atom.

This converts the very complicated mach-o arm
relocations into the simple Reference Kinds in lld.
The next patch will use the internal Reference kinds
to fix up arm/thumb code.
