Enable SHT_RELR sections to encode relative relocations.

Proposal for adding SHT_RELR sections in the generic-abi is at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg

This CL requires clang-r328903.

The following test results are on clang-r339409.

Size comparison for "aosp_marlin-userdebug":
$ du -B1 -s {none,pack,relr,both}/out/target/product/marlin/system
1014616064      none/out/target/product/marlin/system
1001074688      pack/out/target/product/marlin/system
1004273664      relr/out/target/product/marlin/system
1000099840      both/out/target/product/marlin/system

none contains a build with no packing (--pack-dyn-relocs=none).
pack contains a build with current settings (--pack-dyn-relocs=android).
relr contains a build with relr packing only (--pack-dyn-relocs=relr).
both contains a build with both options enabled (--pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr).

With --pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr, lld will encode the relative
relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_RELR section, and pack the rest of
the dynamic relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_REL(A) section.

--pack-dyn-relocs=android was saving us 13,541,376 bytes (1.35%) (none - pack).
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr will save us 10,342,400 bytes (1.03%) (none - relr).
--pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr is saving us 14,516,224 bytes (1.45%) (none - both).

Size comparison for the "system/bin" directory:
$ du -B1 -s {none,pack,relr,both}/out/target/product/marlin/system/bin
29413376        none/out/target/product/marlin/system/bin
28319744        pack/out/target/product/marlin/system/bin
28258304        relr/out/target/product/marlin/system/bin
28180480        both/out/target/product/marlin/system/bin

--pack-dyn-relocs=android was saving us 1,093,632 bytes (3.72%) (none - pack).
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr will save us 1,155,072 bytes (3.93%) (none - relr).
--pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr is saving us 1,232,896 bytes (4.19%) (none - both).
