[dev.link] cmd/link: better naming for Loader container/subsym methods, part 1 of 2

Introduce a new loader method "AddInteriorSym" to be used when
establishing container/containee symbol relationships for host object
sub-symbols and GOT/dynamic sub-symbols.

Interior symbols are employed in situations where you have a
"container" or "payload" symbol that has content, and then a series of
"interior" sub-symbols that point into a portion of the container
symbol's content. Each interior symbol will typically have a useful
name / size / value, but no content of its own. From a symbol table
perspective the container symbol is anonymous, but the interior
symbols are added to the output symbol table.
