When a BL/BLX references a symbol in the same translation unit that is
out of range, use an external relocation. The linker will use this to
generate a branch island rather than a direct reference, allowing the
relocation to resolve correctly.

where the other_half of the movt and movw relocation entries needs to get set
and only with the 16 bits of the other half.

We on the linker to resolve calls to the appropriate BL/BLX instruction
to make interworking function correctly. It uses the symbol in the
relocation to do that, so we need to be careful about being too clever.
To enable this for ARM mode, split the BL/BLX fixup kind off from the
unconditional-branch fixups.

Adjust an example MachObjectWriter diagnostic to use the information
to issue a better message.
Before:
LLVM ERROR: unknown ARM fixup kind!
After:

When the file isn't being built with subsections-via-symbols, symbol
differences involving non-local symbols can be resolved more aggressively.
Needed for gas compatibility.
