llvm rL343594: [ARM] Emmit data symbol
for constant pool data fixed a bug that ommited
required data symbols.
Such change breaked a test case in lld:
test/ELF/arm-thunk-largesection.s

The Thumb BL and BLX instructions on older Arm Architectures such as v5 and
v6 have a constrained encoding J1 and J2 must equal 1, later Architectures
relaxed this restriction allowing J1 and J2 to be used to calculate a larger
immediate.
This patch adds support for the old encoding, it is used when the build
attributes for the input objects only contain older architectures.

A short thunk uses a direct branch (b or b.w) instruction, and is used
when the target has the same thumbness as the thunk and is within
direct branch range (32MB for ARM, 16MB for Thumb-2). Reduces the
size of Chromium for Android's .text section by around 160KB.

This change adds initial support for range extension thunks. All thunks must
be created within the first pass so some corner cases are not supported. A
follow up patch will add support for multiple passes.
With this change the existing tests arm-branch-error.s and
arm-thumb-branch-error.s now no longer fail with an out of range branch.
These have been renamed and tests added for the range extension thunk.
