When an input section is matched by /DISCARD/ in a linker script, GNU ld
reports errors for relocations referencing symbols defined in the section:
`.aaa' referenced in section `.bbb' of a.o: defined in discarded section `.aaa' of a.o
Implement the error by demoting eligible symbols to `Undefined` and changing
STB_WEAK to STB_GLOBAL. As a side benefit, in relocatable links, relocations
referencing symbols defined relative to /DISCARD/ discarded sections no longer
set symbol/type to zeros.
It's arguable whether a weak reference to a discarded symbol should lead to
errors. GNU ld reports an error and our demoting approach reports an error as
well.
