Linker relaxation may change relocations (offsets and types). However, when --emit-relocs is used, relocations are simply copied from the input section causing a mismatch with the corresponding (relaxed) code section. This patch fixes this as follows: for non-relocatable RISC-V binaries, `InputSection::copyRelocations` reads relocations from the relocated section's `relocations` array (since this gets updated by the relaxation code). For all other cases, relocations are read from the input section directly as before. In order to reuse as much code as possible, and to keep the diff small, the original `InputSection::copyRelocations` is changed to accept the relocations as a range of `Relocation` objects. This means that, in the general case when reading from the input section, raw relocations need to be converted to `Relocation`s first, which introduces quite a bit of boiler plate. It also means there's a slight code size increase due to the extra instantiations of `copyRelocations` (for both range types).
