Jez Ng bcaf57cae8 [lld-macho] Parse relocations quickly by assuming sorted order ...

clang and gcc both seem to emit relocations in reverse order of
address. That means we can match relocations to their containing
subsections in `O(relocs + subsections)` rather than the `O(relocs *
log(subsections))` that our previous binary search implementation
required.

Unfortunately, `ld -r` can still emit unsorted relocations, so we have a
fallback code path for that (less common) case.
