Peter Collingbourne 6a4225962d ELF: Forbid all relative relocations to absolute symbols in PIC, except for weak undefined.
Weak undefined symbols resolve to the image base. This is a little strange,
but it allows us to link function calls to such symbols. Normally such a
call will be guarded with a comparison, which will load a zero from the GOT.

There's one example of such a function call in crti.o in Linux's CRT.

As part of this change, I also needed to make the synthetic start and end
symbols image base relative in the case where their sections were empty,
so that PC-relative references to those symbols would continue to work.
