[ELF] Eliminate symbols demoted due to /DISCARD/ discarded sections (#85167)
#69295 demoted Defined symbols relative to discarded sections.
If such a symbol is unreferenced, the desired behavior is to
eliminate it from .symtab just like --gc-sections discarded
definitions.
Linux kernel's CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU=y configuration expects
that the unreferenced `unused` is not emitted to .symtab
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/2006).

For relocations referencing demoted symbols, the symbol index restores
to 0 like older lld (`R_X86_64_64 0` in `discard-section.s`).

Fix #85048
