ld: Extract _bfd_elf_link_iterate_on_relocs
DT_RELR encodes consecutive R_*_RELATIVE relocations in GOT (the global
offset table) and data sections in a compact format:
https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/bX460iggiKg
On some targets, R_*_RELATIVE relocations are counted and the GOT offsets
are allocated when setting the dynamic section sizes after seeing all
relocations. R_*_RELATIVE relocations are generated while relocating
sections after section layout has been finalized.
To prepare for DT_RELR implementation on these targets, extract
_bfd_elf_link_iterate_on_relocs from _bfd_elf_link_check_relocs so
that a backend can scan relocations in elf_backend_always_size_sections
For x86 targets, the old check_relocs is renamed to scan_relocs and a
new check_relocs is added to chek input sections and create dynamic
relocation sections so that they will be mapped to output sections.
scan_relocs is now called from elf_backend_always_size_sections.
Since relocations are scanned after __start, __stop, .startof. and
.sizeof. symbols have been finalized on x86, __[start|stop]_SECNAME for
--gc-sections -z start-stop-gc are now zero when all SECNAME sections
been garbage collected. This is no need for elf_x86_start_stop_gc_p.
