For an InputSection, the `buf` argument of `InputSectionBase::relocate` points
to the content of the containing OutputSection, instead of the content of the
InputSection itself, so `outSecOff` needs to be added in its callees. This is
counter-intuitive and leads to many `- outSecOff` and `+ outSecOff`.
This patch makes `InputSection::writeTo` call `InputSectionBase::relocate` with
`outSecOff` added. relocAlloc/relocNonAlloc/relocateNonAllocForRelocatable can
thus be simplified now.
Updated test:
* non-abs-reloc.s: A minor offset bug is fixed for a diagnostic in `relocateNonAlloc`

Symbol information can be used to improve out-of-range/misalignment diagnostics.
It also helps R_ARM_CALL/R_ARM_THM_CALL which has different behaviors with different symbol types.
There are many (67) relocateOne() call sites used in thunks, {Arm,AArch64}errata, PLT, etc.
Rename them to `relocateNoSym()` to be clearer that there is no symbol information.

The code to insert patch section merges them with a comparison function that
uses logic of the form:
return (isa<PatchSection>(a) && !isa<PatchSection>(b));
If the PatchSections don't implement classof this check fails if b is also
a SyntheticSection. This can result in the patches being out of range if
the SyntheticSection is big, for example a ThunkSection with lots of thunks.

The --fix-cortex-a8 option implements a linker workaround for the
coretex-a8 erratum 657417. A summary of the erratum conditions is:
- A 32-bit Thumb-2 branch instruction B.w, Bcc.w, BL, BLX spans two
4KiB regions.
- The destination of the branch is to the first 4KiB region.
- The instruction before the branch is a 32-bit Thumb-2 non-branch
instruction.
The linker fix is to redirect the branch to a patch not in the first
4KiB region. The patch forwards the branch on to its target.
The cortex-a8, is an old CPU, with the first implementation of this
workaround in ld.bfd appearing in 2009. The cortex-a8 has been used in
early Android Phones and there are some critical applications that still
need to run on a cortex-a8 that have the erratum. The patch is applied
roughly 10 times on LLD and 20 on Clang when they are built with
--fix-cortex-a8 on an Arm system.
The formal erratum description is avaliable in the ARM Core Cortex-A8
(AT400/AT401) Errata Notice document. This is available from Arm on
request but it seems to be findable via a web search.
