[ELF][AArch64] Support R_AARCH64_{CALL26,JUMP26} range extension thunks with addends

Fixes AArch64 part of PR40438

The current range extension thunk framework does not handle a relocation
relative to a STT_SECTION symbol with a non-zero addend, which may be
used by jumps/calls to local functions on some RELA targets (AArch64,
powerpc ELFv1, powerpc64 ELFv2, etc).  See PR40438 and the following
code for examples:

  // clang -target $target a.cc
  // .text.cold may be placed in a separate output section.
  // The distance between bar in .text.cold and foo in .text may be larger than 128MiB.
  static void foo() {}
  __attribute__((section(".text.cold"))) static int bar() { foo(); return
  0; }
  __attribute__((used)) static int dummy = bar();

This patch makes such thunks with addends work for AArch64. The target
independent part can be reused by PPC in the future.

On REL targets (ARM, MIPS), jumps/calls are not represented as
STT_SECTION + non-zero addend (see
MCELFObjectTargetWriter::needsRelocateWithSymbol), so they don't need
this feature, but we need to make sure this patch does not affect them.
