When performing DISP{16,32} relocations, the eBPF ELF backend linker
needs to convert the relocation from an address into a signed number
of 64-bit words (minus one) to jump.
Because of this unsigned-to-signed conversion, special care needs to
be taken when dividing to ensure the sign bits remain correct.
Otherwise, a false relocation overflow error can be triggered.

* elf64-bpf.c (bpf_elf_relocate_section): Ensure signed division for
DISP16 and DISP32 relocations.

* testsuite/ld-bpf/call-3.s: New file.
* testsuite/ld-bpf/call-3.d: Likewise.
The eBPF ELF backend was not properly recording relocation addends
during installation, nor reading and applying them when performing
the final relocation. This lead to various issues with incorrect
relocations.
These issues are fixed with a new howto special function to install
the relocations, and updates to bpf_elf_relocate_section to read and
use the addends as recorded in the input_bfd.

This patch changes the eBPF linker to provide a relocate_section
function instead of relying on using special functions in relocation
howtos.
Tested in x86_64 host.
No regressions.
