This allows relaxing some relocations to symbol+offset instead of emitting
a relocation against a symbol.

While this does not matter for most targets, when building for Arm Morello,
we have to mark the symbol as a function and add size information, so that
LLD can correctly evaluate relocations against the local symbol.
Since Morello is an out-of-tree target, I tried to reproduce this with
in-tree backends and with the previous reviews applied this results in
a noticeable difference when targeting Thumb.
Background: Morello uses a method similar Thumb where the encoding mode is
specified in the LSB of the symbol. If we don't mark the target as a
function, the relocation will not have the LSB set and calls will end up
using the wrong encoding mode (which will almost certainly crash).

When calling a dso_local function, we end up creating a call against the
.Lfoo$local label. This might be converted to a relocation against a
section if there is such a matching one (which is a lot more likely with
-ffunction-sections) and then the LSB (Thumb flag) will be lost.
I originally noticed this with Morello LLVM (which uses the LSB to indicate
a C64 encoding mode function). The missing LSB meant that ld.lld would
insert a thunk that switches encoding mode which then resulted in errors
at runtime since functions were being entered with the wrong encoding mode.
Since the Morello backend is not upstream, I looked if any in-tree
backends could also be affected by the missing STT_FUNC flag and noticed
that Thumb is also affected (although the bug is rather difficult to
trigger - it currently requires inline assembly).
