[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.
