The _gp* family of symbols is defined as an offset in .got, and it is
not at all clear what should happen when .got is not defined.
This will allow some simplifications on how these symbols are handled.

Some MIPS relocations including `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16` use combined
addends. Such addend is calculated using addends of both paired relocations.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` relocation is paired with the next `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation. ABI requires to compute such combined addend in case of REL
relocation record format only.

This patch implements lookup of the next paired relocation suing new
`InputSectionBase::findPairedRelocLocation` method. The primary
disadvantage of this approach is that we put MIPS specific logic into
the common code. The next disadvantage is that we lookup `R_MIPS_LO16`
for each `R_MIPS_HI16` relocation, while in fact multiple `R_MIPS_HI16`
might be paired with the single `R_MIPS_LO16`. From the other side
this way allows us to keep `MipsTargetInfo` class stateless and implement
later relocation handling in parallel.
This patch does not support `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16` relocations against
`_gp_disp` symbol. In that case the relocations use a special formula for
the calculation. That will be implemented later.
