Fangrui Song 962b29d716 ELFObjectWriter: Don't sort non-local symbols
As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols.  This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.

```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```

With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.

Rui Ueyama 9efdd7ac5e [PPC64] Preserve LocalEntry when linking
On PowerPC64, it is necessary to keep the LocalEntry bits in st_other,
especially when -r is used. Otherwise, when the resulting object is used
in a posterior linking, LocalEntry info will be unavailable and
functions may be called through the wrong entrypoint.
