As part of the effort to refactor old error handling code that
would directly call exit(1), in this patch continue the migration
on libCore, libRewrite and libPasses to use the new BOLTError
class whenever a failure occurs.

In large code model, the address of GOT is calculated by the
static linker via R_X86_GOTPC64 reloc applied against a MOVABSQ
instruction. In the final binary, it can be disassembled as a regular
immediate, but because such immediate is the result of PC-relative
pointer arithmetic, we need to parse this relocation and update this
calculation whenever we move code, otherwise we break the code trying
to read GOT.
A test case showing how GOT is accessed was provided.

In lite mode (default for X86), BOLT optimizes and relocates functions
with profile. The rest of the code is preserved, but if it references
relocated code such references have to be updated. The update is handled
by scanExternalRefs() function. Note that we cannot solely rely on
relocations written by the linker, as not all code references are
exposed to the linker. Additionally, the linker can modify certain
instructions and relocations will no longer match the code.
With this change, start using symbolic disassembler for scanning code
for references in scanExternalRefs(). Unlike the previous approach, the
symbolizer properly detects and creates references for instructions with
multiple/ambiguous symbolic operands and handles cases where a
relocation doesn't match any operand. See test cases for examples.

Summary:
While disassembling instructions, we need to replace certain immediate
operands with symbols. This symbolizing process relies on reading
relocations against instructions. However, some X86 instructions can
have multiple immediate operands and up to two relocations against
them. Thus, correctly matching a relocation to an operand is not
always possible without knowing the operand offset within the
instruction.
Luckily, LLVM provides an interface for passing the required info from
the disassembler via a virtual MCSymbolizer class. Creating a
target-specific version allows a precise matching of relocations to
operands.
This diff adds X86MCSymbolizer class that performs X86-specific
symbolizing (currently limited to non-branch instructions).
