Leonard Chan c77659e549 [llvm][IR] Do not place constants with static relocations in a mergeable section ...

This patch provides two major changes:

1. Add getRelocationInfo to check if a constant will have static, dynamic, or
   no relocations. (Also rename the original needsRelocation to needsDynamicRelocation.)
2. Only allow a constant with no relocations (static or dynamic) to be placed
   in a mergeable section.

This will allow unused symbols that contain static relocations and happen to
fit in mergeable constant sections (.rodata.cstN) to instead be placed in
unique-named sections if -fdata-sections is used and subsequently garbage collected
by --gc-sections.
