[dev.link] cmd/compile, cmd/link: generate itablink at link time

Currently, at compile time, for each itab symbol, we create an
"itablink" symbol which holds solely the address of the itab
symbol. At link time, all the itablink symbols are grouped
together to form the itablinks slice.

This CL removes the itablink symbols, and directly generate the
itablinks slice in the linker. This removes a number of symbols,
which are dupOK and generally have long names. And also removes
a special handling of itablink symbols in the deadcode pass which
iterates through all symbols.
