The hint does not pull its weight:
* adding -Wl,-z,notext often won't work (relocation types other than `symbolRel`, e.g. `R_AARCH64_LDST32_ABS_LO12_NC`)
* for pure (no assembly) C/C++ projects, the "-fPIC" hint is sufficient
This makes adjustExpr a bit simpler too IMHO.
It seems that some of the complication around relocation processing
is that we are trying to create copy relocations too early. It seems
we could handle a few simple cases first and continue.

If a relocation cannot be implemented by the dynamic linker and the
section is rw, allow creating a plt entry to use as the function
address as if the section was ro.
This matches bfd and gold. It also matches our behavior with -z
notext.

Previous error message style:
error: /home/alice/src/bar.c:12: relocation R_X86_64_PLT32 cannot refer to absolute symbol 'answer' defined in /home/alice/src/foo.o
New error message style:
error: relocation R_X86_64_PLT32 cannot refer to absolute symbol: foo
>>> defined in /home/alice/src/foo.o
>>> referenced by bar.c:12 (/home/alice/src/bar.c:12)

Previously message told us that relocations could
not be used when making shared object. That was
correct because message could appear (and it is expected)
when we linked executable.
Message should have being changed to something
that says we can't use a subset of relocations against shared
symbols.
Patch fixes the text.
