BaseTools/GenFw RVCT: fix relocation processing of PT_DYNAMIC sections

Unlike GNU ld, which can be instructed to emit symbol based static
relocations into fully linked binaries using the --emit-relocs command
line switch, the RVCT armlink tool can only emit dynamic relocations
into the PT_DYNAMIC segment.

This has two consequences
. we can only identify absolute relocations, so there is no way to fix
  up relative relocations between sections, or check their validity in
  the PE/COFF layout
. the r_offset fields of the PT_DYNAMIC DT_REL entries are relative
  either to the base of the image or to any of its segments but *not* to
  the base of the input section that contains the location they refer
  to, and converting them to PE/COFF image offsets is non-trivial unless
  the sections are laid out in the same way in the ELF and PE/COFF
  versions of the binary.

There is really only one way to deal with this, and that is to require
that the ELF and PE/COFF versions of the binary are identical in memory.
So enforce that in the code.

Also, fix the utterly broken relocation fixup code that dereferences
ELF32_R_SYM(r_info) both as a 1-based program header index and a 0-based
section header index. If this code ever produced working binaries, it
was purely by chance.
