cmd/internal/goobj2: add referenced symbol names to object file

Currently, for symbols defined in other packages and referenced
by index, we don't record its name in the object file, as the
linker doesn't need the name, only the index. As a consequence,
tools like objdump and nm also don't know the referenced symbol
names and cannot dump it properly.

This CL adds referenced symbol names to the object file. So the
object file is self-contained. And tools can retrieve referenced
symbol names properly.

Tools now should work as good for new object files as for old
object files.

Fixes #38875.
