One place where this seems to matter is to make sure the .rsrc section comes
after .text. The Win32 UpdateResource() function can change the contents of
.rsrc. It will move the sections that come after, but if .text gets moved, the
entry point header will not get updated and the executable breaks. This was
found by a test in Chromium.

The compiler outputs PROC32_ID symbols into the object files
for functions, and these symbols have an embedded type index
which, when copied to the PDB, refer to the IPI stream. However,
the symbols themselves are also converted into regular symbols
(e.g. S_GPROC32_ID -> S_GPROC32), and type indices in the regular
symbol records refer to the TPI stream. So this patch applies
two fixes to function records.
1. It converts ID symbols to the proper non-ID record type.
2. After remapping the type index from the object file's index
space to the PDB file/IPI stream's index space, it then
remaps that index to the TPI stream's index space by.
Besides functions, during the remapping process we were also
discarding symbol record types which we did not recognize.
In particular, we were discarding S_BPREL32 records, which is
what MSVC uses to describe local variables on the stack. So
this patch fixes that as well by copying them to the PDB.
