[AArch64] Relax long branch veneer insertion for non STT_FUNC symbol

  As defined at AArch64 ELF Specification (4.6.7 Call and Jump
  relocations), symbol with type of non STT_FUNC but in different input
  section with relocation place should insert long branch veneer also.

  Meanwhile the current long branch veneer infrastructure havn't considered
  the situation where the branch destination is "sym_value + rela->addend".

  This was OK because we only insert veneer for long call destination is
  STT_FUNC symbol for which the addend is always zero. But as we relax the
  support to other situations by this patch, we need to handle addend be
  non-zero value. For example, for static function, relocation against
  "local symbol" are turned into relocation against "section symbol + offset"
  where there is a valid addend.

  bfd/
	* elfnn-aarch64.c (aarch64_type_of_stub): Allow insert long branch
	veneer for sym_sec != input_sec.
	(elfNN_aarch64_size_stub): Support STT_SECTION symbol.
	(elfNN_aarch64_final_link_relocate): Take rela addend into account when
	calculation destination.
