Fangrui Song 37a1291885 [ELF] Add RelocationScanner. NFC
Currently the way some relocation-related static functions pass around
states is clumsy. Add a Resolver class to store some states as member
variables.

Advantages:

* Avoid the parameter `InputSectionBase &sec` (this offsets the cost passing around `this` paramemter)
* Avoid the parameter `end` (Mips and PowerPC hacks)
* `config` and `target` can be cached as member variables to reduce global state accesses. (potential speedup because the compiler didn't know `config`/`target` were not changed across function calls)
* If we ever want to reduce if-else costs (e.g. `config->emachine==EM_MIPS` for non-Mips) or introduce parallel relocation scan not handling some tricky arches (PPC/Mips), we can templatize Resolver

`target` isn't used as much as `config`, so I change it to a const reference
during the migration.

There is a minor performance inprovement for elf::scanRelocations.
