D73474 disabled the generation of interworking thunks for branch relocations to non STT_FUNC symbols. This patch handles the case of BL and BLX instructions to non STT_FUNC symbols. LLD would normally look at the state of the caller and the callee and write a BL if the states are the same and a BLX if the states are different. This patch disables BL/BLX substitution when the destination symbol does not have type STT_FUNC. This brings our behavior in line with GNU ld which may prevent difficult to diagnose runtime errors when switching to lld. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D73542
