BaseTools/GenFw RVCT: fix relocation processing of PT_DYNAMIC sections
Unlike GNU ld, which can be instructed to emit symbol based static relocations into fully linked binaries using the --emit-relocs command line switch, the RVCT armlink tool can only emit dynamic relocations into the PT_DYNAMIC segment. This has two consequences . we can only identify absolute relocations, so there is no way to fix up relative relocations between sections, or check their validity in the PE/COFF layout . the r_offset fields of the PT_DYNAMIC DT_REL entries are relative either to the base of the image or to any of its segments but *not* to the base of the input section that contains the location they refer to, and converting them to PE/COFF image offsets is non-trivial unless the sections are laid out in the same way in the ELF and PE/COFF versions of the binary. There is really only one way to deal with this, and that is to require that the ELF and PE/COFF versions of the binary are identical in memory. So enforce that in the code. Also, fix the utterly broken relocation fixup code that dereferences ELF32_R_SYM(r_info) both as a 1-based program header index and a 0-based section header index. If this code ever produced working binaries, it was purely by chance. (Sync patch r19236 from main trunk.)
