[lld-macho] Parse relocations quickly by assuming sorted order
clang and gcc both seem to emit relocations in reverse order of address. That means we can match relocations to their containing subsections in `O(relocs + subsections)` rather than the `O(relocs * log(subsections))` that our previous binary search implementation required. Unfortunately, `ld -r` can still emit unsorted relocations, so we have a fallback code path for that (less common) case.
