Revert r362743 "Revert "Revert "Reland D61583 [ELF] Error on relocations to STT_SECTION symbols if the sections were discarded"""

(In effect, reverting "[ELF] Error on relocations to STT_SECTION symbols if the sections were discarded".)

It caused debug info problems in LibreOffice [1] and Chromium/V8 [2].
Reverting until those can be fixed.

It also reverts r362497 "STT_SECTION symbol should be defined" on .eh_frame, .debug*, .zdebug* and .gcc_except_table"
which was landed as a follow-up to the above.

> With -r or --emit-relocs, we warn `STT_SECTION symbol should be defined`
> on relocations to discarded section symbol. This was added as an error

> error to a warning).

And finally it reverts r362218 "[ELF] Replace a dead test in getSymVA() with assert()"
as that also depended on the main change reverted here.

> Symbols relative to discarded comdat sections are Undefined instead of
> Defined now (after D59649 and D61583). The `== &InputSection::Discarded`
> test becomes dead. I cannot find a test related to this behavior.
