Jez Ng 53eb7fda51 [lld-macho] Support binding dysyms to any section
Previously, we only supported binding dysyms to the GOT. This
diff adds support for binding them to any arbitrary section. C++
programs appear to use this, I believe for vtables and type_info.

This diff also makes our bind opcode encoding a bit smarter -- we now
encode just the differences between bindings, which will make things
more compact.

I was initially concerned about the performance overhead of iterating
over these relocations, but it turns out that the number of such
relocations is small. A quick analysis of my llvm-project build
directory showed that < 1.3% out of ~7M relocations are RELOC_UNSIGNED
bindings to symbols (including both dynamic and static symbols).
