The AArch64 small C model makes extensive use of ADRP/ADD and
ADRP/{LDR,STR} pairs to emit PC-relative symbol references with
a +/- 4 GB range. Since the relocation pair splits the relative
offset into a relative page offset and an absolute offset into
a 4 KB page, we need to take extra care to ensure that the target
of the relocation preserves its alignment relative to a 4 KB
alignment boundary.
Also, due to a problem with the --emit-relocs GNU ld option, where
it does not recalculate the addends for section relative relocations,
the only way to guarantee correct code is by requiring the relative
section offset to be equal in the ELF and PE/COFF versions of the
binary. This affects both the 'tiny' and 'small' GCC code models.

The secondary header (not the DOS header) of a PE/COFF binary
does not reside at a fixed offset. Instead, its offset into the
file is recorded in the DOS header.
This gives us the flexibility to move it, along with the section
headers, to right before the first section if there is considerable
space before it, i.e., when the PE/COFF file alignment is substantially
larger than the size of the header.
Since the PE/COFF to TE conversion replaces everything before the
section headers with a simple TE header, this change removes all
the header padding from such images, leading to smaller files.

In order to reduce the memory footprint of PE/COFF images when
using large values for the PE/COFF section alignment, move the
contents of the .debug section to data, and point the debug data
directory entry to it. This allows us to drop the .debug section
entirely, as well as any associated rounding. Since our .debug
section only contains the filename of the ELF input image, the
penalty of keeping this data in a non-discardable section is
negligible.
Note that the PE/COFF spec v6.3 explicitly mentions that this is
allowed.

When R_AARCH64_CALL26/R_AARCH64_JUMP26 relocations referred to static
functions, they sometime refer to the start of the '.text' section + addend.
It means the addend is different of '0'.
The non-patched code (before applying the relocation) already contains
the correct offset.
