[ELF] A shared object is needed if any of its occurrences is needed

Summary:
If a DSO appears more than once with and without --as-needed, ld.bfd and gold consider --no-as-needed to takes precedence over --as-needed. lld didn't and this patch makes it do so.

This makes it a bit away from the position-dependent behavior (how
different occurrences of the same DSO interact) and protects us from
some mysterious runtime errors: if some interceptor libraries add their
own --no-as-needed dependencies (e.g. librt.so), and the user
application specifies -Wl,--as-needed -lrt , the absence of the
DT_NEEDED entry would make dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "clock_gettime") return NULL
and would break at runtime.
