Fangrui Song fc33861d48 [ELF] Split scanRelocations into scanRelocations/postScanRelocations
The idea is to make scanRelocations mark some actions are needed (GOT/PLT/etc)
and postpone the real work to postScanRelocations. It gives some flexibility:

* Make it feasible to support .plt.got (PR32938): we need to know whether GLOB_DAT and JUMP_SLOT are both needed.
* Make non-preemptible IFUNC handling slightly cleaner: avoid setting/clearing sym.gotInIgot
* -z nocopyrel: report all copy relocation places for one symbol
* Make parallel relocation scanning possible (if we can avoid all stateful operations and make Symbol attributes atomic), but parallelism may not be the appealing choice
* Make GOT deduplication feasible

Since this patch moves a large chunk of code out of ELFT templates. My x86-64
executable is actually a few hundred bytes smaller.

For ppc32-ifunc-nonpreemptible-pic.s: I remove absolute relocation references to non-preemptible ifunc
because absolute relocation references are incorrect in -fpie mode.
