In lite mode (default for X86), BOLT optimizes and relocates functions
with profile. The rest of the code is preserved, but if it references
relocated code such references have to be updated. The update is handled
by scanExternalRefs() function. Note that we cannot solely rely on
relocations written by the linker, as not all code references are
exposed to the linker. Additionally, the linker can modify certain
instructions and relocations will no longer match the code.
With this change, start using symbolic disassembler for scanning code
for references in scanExternalRefs(). Unlike the previous approach, the
symbolizer properly detects and creates references for instructions with
multiple/ambiguous symbolic operands and handles cases where a
relocation doesn't match any operand. See test cases for examples.

Replace a single dash with a double dash for options that have more
than a single letter.
llvm-bolt-wrapper.py has special treatment for output options such as
"-o" and "-w" causing issues when a single dash is used, e.g. for
"-write-dwp". The wrapper can be fixed as well, but using a double dash
has other advantages as well.

The linker can convert instructions with GOTPCRELX relocations into a
form that uses an absolute addressing with an immediate. BOLT needs to
recognize such conversions and symbolize the immediates.

Add a new testcase that reproduces a bug when BOLTing current
trunk LLD bootstrapped with trunk clang. This makes it official
that we do not support this transformation but are working on
it. When the support is ready, XFAIL should be removed.
