The first symbol on ELF is dummy, but it has a defined content and readelf
normally displays it. With this change llvm-readobj also displays it and we
can check that llvm-mc output is correct according to the standard.

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.

variable if recursing fails to simplify it.
Factor AliasedSymbol to be a method of MCSymbol.
Update MCAssembler::EvaluateFixup to match the change in
EvaluateAsRelocatableImpl.
Remove the WeakRefExpr hack, as the object writer now sees the weakref with
no extra effort needed.
Nothing else is using MCTargetExpr, but keep it for now.
Now that the ELF writer sees relocations with aliases, handle
.weak foo2
foo2:
.weak bar2
.set bar2,foo2
.quad bar2
the same way gas does and produce a relocation with bar2.
