The hint does not pull its weight:
* adding -Wl,-z,notext often won't work (relocation types other than `symbolRel`, e.g. `R_AARCH64_LDST32_ABS_LO12_NC`)
* for pure (no assembly) C/C++ projects, the "-fPIC" hint is sufficient
Previous error message style:
error: /home/alice/src/bar.c:12: relocation R_X86_64_PLT32 cannot refer to absolute symbol 'answer' defined in /home/alice/src/foo.o
New error message style:
error: relocation R_X86_64_PLT32 cannot refer to absolute symbol: foo
>>> defined in /home/alice/src/foo.o
>>> referenced by bar.c:12 (/home/alice/src/bar.c:12)
>>> /home/alice/src/bar.o:(.text+0x1)

LLD's error messages contain line numbers, function names or section names.
Currently they are formatter as follows.
foo.c (32): symbol 'foo' not found
foo.c (function bar): symbol 'foo' not found
foo.c (.text+0x1234): symbol 'foo' not found
This patch changes them so that they are consistent with Clang's output.
foo.c:32: symbol 'foo' not found
foo.c:(function bar): symbol 'foo' not found
foo.c:(.text+0x1234): symbol 'foo' not found

We should always include symbol name when reporting relocations
error to simplify debugging of these issues. Without symbol names
users have to manually investigate which of the libraries contain
invalid relocations which can be cumbersome when linking multiple
libraries.

It was reported in PR28020, that lld does not link code which
gold do. But in fact that is expected behavior as we do not
support DT_TEXTREL.
This patch changes error message as it can report about relocations against
text segments exclusively, other dynamic relocations errors can
be handled separately.

All relocations, which cannot be handled by the dynamic linker,
cause a linking error "rebuild with -fPIC".
