The sym.Symbol 'Plt' and 'Got' field are used only with cgo and/or
external linking and are not needed for most symbols. Relocate them to
sym.AuxSymbol so as to shrink the main Symbol struct.

The sym.Symbol 'Localentry' field is used only with cgo and/or

infrequently used, so as to shrink the main Symbol struct.

Create a new "AuxSymbol" struct into which 'cold' or 'infrequently

The linker's sym.Symbol struct contains two string fields, "Dynimplib"
and "Dynimpvers" that are used only in very specific circumstances
(for many symbols, such as DWARF syms, they are wasted space). Split
these two off into a separate struct, then point to an instance of
that struct when needed. This reduces the size of sym.Symbol so as to
save space in the common case.

The sym.Symbol 'Reachparent' field is used only when field tracking
is enabled. So as to use less memory for the common case where
field tracking is not enabled, remove this field and use a side
table stored in the context to achieve the same functionality.

Dsymutil, an utility used on macOS when externally linking executables,
does not support base address selector entries in debug_ranges.
To work around this deficiency this commit removes base address
selectors from debug_ranges and emits instead a list composed only of
compile unit relative addresses.
A new type of relocation is introduced, R_ADDRCUOFF, similar to
R_ADDROFF, that relocates an address to its offset from the low_pc of
the symbol's compile unit.
Fixes#21945

Currently, the linker generates one huge DWARF compilation unit for
the entire Go binary. This commit creates a separate compilation unit
and line table per Go package.
We temporarily lose compilation unit PC range information, since it's
now discontiguous, so harder to emit. We'll bring it back in the next
commit.
Beyond being "more traditional", this has various technical
advantages:
* It should speed up line table lookup, since that requires a
sequential scan of the line table. With this change, a debugger can
first locate the per-package line table and then scan only that line
table.
* Once we emit compilation unit PC ranges again, this should also
speed up various other debugger reverse PC lookups.
* It puts us in a good position to move more DWARF generation into the
compiler, which could produce at least the CU header, per-function
line table fragments, and per-function frame unwinding info that the
linker could simply paste together.
* It will let us record a per-package compiler command-line flags
(#22168).
