Shoaib Meenai 0c958fba14 [ELF] Only scan executables for shlib undefined symbols
If using a version script with a `local: *` in it, symbols in shared
libraries will still get default visibility if another shared library on
the link line has an undefined reference to the symbol. This is quite
surprising. Neither bfd nor gold have this behavior when linking a
shared library, and none of LLD's tests fail without this behavior, so
it seems safe to limit scanShlibUndefined to executables.

As far as executables are concerned, gold doesn't do any automatic
default visibility marking, and bfd issues a link error about a shared
library having a reference to a hidden symbol rather than silently
giving that symbol default visibility. I think bfd's behavior here is
preferable to LLD's, but that's something to be considered in a
follow-up.
