Currently, when mapping symbol's local index to global index, for
duplicated and overwriting/overwritten symbols, each appearance
of the symbol gets a global index, with one being the "primary",
and others "redirect" to it through the overwrite map. Basically,
the local-global index mapping is one to one, with overwrite/
dedup happening in global index level.
This has a few drawbacks:
- All symbol accesses effectively need to query the overwrite
map. This may hurt performance.
- For multi-level overwrites, (Y overwrites X, Z overwrites Y),
this can get quite complicated, and we have to follow the
redirection recursively.
- Failed to follow or to update the overwrite map leads to bugs.
In this CL, we change the index mapping mechanism so that each
symbol get a unique global index. Multiple appearances of the
same symbol get the same index. Now the local-global index
mapping is N to one. Overwrite/dedup happens directly in the
local-global mapping.
We keep both mapping directions in arrays. Each object carries
an array for its local-global mapping. The loader carries an
array mapping global index to the "primary" local index, which is
the one we should load from. This way, we can get rid of the
overwrite map, and index conversions are simply array accesses.
TODO: we still make reservation of the index space upfront, and
leave holes for dup symbols. Maybe get rid of the reservation and
holes.

Currently, the symbol updater uses a pointer pointing to the
loader's payloads array. If the payloads slice grows (and moves),
the pointer may become stale and no longer point to the symbol's
actual payload. Specifically, consider
sb, sym := l.MakeSymbolUpdater(...)
// add a bunch of external symbols, which grows payload slice
sb.SetType(t)
l.SymType(sym) // may not return t
sb.SetType on line 3 may not have the desired effect, as
sb.extSymPayload may no longer point to the right payload. As a
result, the type we get on line 4 may be not the one we set.
Fix this by making the payload's address permanent. Once it is
allocated it will never move.

Revamp the way that symbol overwrites are handled to deal with symbols
that are overwritten more than once (such as "_cgo_mmap"). The
scenario here is that a symbol can be overwritten twice, once during
preload, and then again when host objects are read during internal
linking. This can result in a situation where we have two entries in
the overwrite map, from X -> Y and then from Y -> Z. Rather than
search the overwrite map when adding new entries, add a helper routine
for querying the map that catches this situation and fixes it up.
Also with this patch is a couple of tweaks to the loader.Dump method
to insure that it can dump the entire global index space without
crashing due to odd overwrites (as in the scenario above).

Add in the hooks to SymbolBuilder and to the loader to allow
the linker to make modifications to a non-external symbol (e.g.
a sym whose index is less than loader.extStart).
The basic idea is to manufacture a new external symbol with the same
name and version, then import the old symbol's content (type, data,
relocations, etc) into the payload struct for the new symbol, and
finally redirect the name lookup tables to target the new sym for the
specified name/version.
This change is needed in order to convert over the host object loaders
to avoid use of sym.Symbol.

Add SymbolBuilder helper type -- this type provides a set of methods
intended to make it easy to manipulate the content of a symbol (type,
relocations, data, etc).
