cmd/internal/ld: store the libraries a shared library was linked against in a note

The motivation for this is the innocuous looking test case that is added. This
creates a stack exe -> libdep2.so -> libdep.so -> libruntime.so. The problem
comes from the fact that a function from libdep.so gets inlined all the way
into exe. This (unsurprisingly) means that the object file for exe references
symbols from libdep.so, which means that -ldep needs to be passed when linking
exe and it isn't. The fix is simply to pass it -- there is no harm in passing
it when it's not needed.

The thing is, it's not clear at all in the current code to see how the linker
can know that libdep2 is linked against libdep. It could look through the
DT_NEEDED entries in libdep2 and try to guess which are Go libraries, but it
feels better to be explicit. So this adds another SHT_NOTE section that lists
the shared libraries a shared library was linked against, and makes sure the
complete set of depended upon shared libraries is passed to the external
linker.
