[ELF] Keep st_type for symbol assignment
PR46970: for `alias = aliasee`, the alias can be used in relocation processing and on ARM st_type does affect Thumb interworking. It is thus desirable for the alias to get the same st_type. Note that the st_size field should not be inherited because some tools use st_size=0 as a heuristic to detect aliases. Retaining st_size can thwart such heuristics and cause aliases to be preferred over the original symbols. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D86263
