[llvm][IR] Do not place constants with static relocations in a mergeable section
This patch provides two major changes: 1. Add getRelocationInfo to check if a constant will have static, dynamic, or no relocations. (Also rename the original needsRelocation to needsDynamicRelocation.) 2. Only allow a constant with no relocations (static or dynamic) to be placed in a mergeable section. This will allow unused symbols that contain static relocations and happen to fit in mergeable constant sections (.rodata.cstN) to instead be placed in unique-named sections if -fdata-sections is used and subsequently garbage collected by --gc-sections.
