objtool: Optimize elf_dirty_reloc_sym()

When moving a symbol in the symtab its index changes and any reloc
referring that symtol-table-index will need to be rewritten too.

In order to facilitate this, objtool simply marks the whole reloc
section 'changed' which will cause the whole section to be
re-generated.

However, finding the relocs that use any given symbol is implemented
rather crudely -- a fully iteration of all sections and their relocs.
Given that some builds have over 20k sections (kallsyms etc..)
iterating all that for *each* symbol moved takes a bit of time.

Instead have each symbol keep a list of relocs that reference it.

This *vastly* improves build times for certain configs.
