Fangrui Song 8abf8d124a [ELF] Don't resolve relocations referencing SHN_ABS to tombstone in non-SHF_ALLOC sections (#79238)
A SHN_ABS symbol has never been considered for
InputSection::relocateNonAlloc.
Before #74686, the code did made it work in the absence of `-z
dead-reloc-in-nonalloc=`.
There is now a report about such SHN_ABS uses

(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/74686#issuecomment-1904101711)
and I think it makes sense for non-SHF_ALLOC to support SHN_ABS, like
SHF_ALLOC sections do.

```
// clang -g
__attribute__((weak)) int symbol;
int *foo() { return &symbol; }

0x00000023:   DW_TAG_variable [2]   (0x0000000c)
                ...
                DW_AT_location [DW_FORM_exprloc]        (DW_OP_addrx 0x0)

```

.debug_addr references `symbol`, which can be redefined by a symbol
assignment or --defsym to become a SHN_ABS symbol.

The problem is that `!sym.getOutputSection()` cannot discern SHN_ABS
from a symbol whose section has been discarded. Since commit
1981b1b6b9, a symbol relative to a
discarded section is changed to `Undefined`, so the `SHN_ABS` check
become trivial.

We currently apply tombstone for a relocation referencing
`SharedSymbol`. This patch does not change the behavior.
