cmd/link: apply DWARF relocations while doing compression

We are preparing for applying relocations to the output buffer.
However, for DWARF compression, relocations need to be applied
before compression, but we don't have an output buffer at that
time. We also cannot delay DWARF compression to when we mmap the
output file, because we need the size of the DWARF sections to
compute the file size.

Instead of applying all the relocations together, we apply
relocations in DWARF sections one symbol at a time, right before
it is writing out for compression. As the symbol content may be
in read-only memory (in the future), we use a temporary buffer
for applying the relocations, and immediately write it out.

If compression is not used, relocations are still applied all
together.

This is in preparation for mmap'ing input files read-only.
