b97212d1f1 [dev.link] cmd/link: delete sym.Symbol and sym.Reloc
This deletes all sym.Symbol and sym.Reloc references. This is
certainly not complete, and there are more cleanups to do. But I
feel this makes a good first round.

941de9760b [dev.link] cmd/link: begin converting dodata() to loader APIs
This patch begins the work of converting the linker's dodata phase to
work with loader APIs. Passes all.bash on linux/amd64, but hasn't been
tested on anything else (more arch-specific code needs to be written).
Use of the new dodata() phase is currently gated by a temporary
command line flag ("-newdodata"), and there is code in the linker's
main routine to insure that we only use the new version for the right
GOOS/GOARCH (currently restricted to ELF + AMD64).

9570fc8f71 [dev.link] cmd/link: reduce memory usage for storing symbol section information
Currently, we use a dense array to store symbol's sections. The
array element is a *sym.Section, which takes 8 bytes per symbol
on a 64-bit machine. And the array is created upfront.

To reduce memory usage, use a 16-bit index for sections, so we
store 2 bytes per symbol. The array is pointerless, reducing GC
work. Also create the array lazily.

This reduces some memory usage: linking cmd/compile,

c4cb6832bb [dev.link] cmd/link: remove lookup function from relocsym
The lookup is only used for DWARF section symbols, for which we
can just link the symbols to the sections.
