[ELF] Enhance --no-allow-shlib-undefined to report non-exported definition (#70769)
For a DSO with all DT_NEEDED entries accounted for, if it contains an undefined non-weak symbol that shares a name with a non-exported definition (hidden visibility or localized by a version script), and there is no DSO definition, we should also report an error. Because the definition is not exported, it cannot resolve the DSO reference at runtime. GNU ld introduced this error-checking in [April 2003](https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2003-April/026568.html). The feature is available for executable links but not for -shared, and it is orthogonal to --no-allow-shlib-undefined. We make the feature part of --no-allow-shlib-undefined and work with -shared when --no-allow-shlib-undefined is specified. A subset of this error-checking is covered by commit 1981b1b6 for --gc-sections discarded sections. This patch covers non-discarded sections as well. Internally, I have identified 2 bugs (which would fail with LD_BIND_NOW=1) covered by commit 1981b1b6
