    x86: Only allow S + A relocations against absolute symbol
    
    Since value of non-preemptible absolute symbol (SHN_ABS) won't change,
    only relocations, which can be resolved as absolute value + addend, and
    GOTPCREL relocations, where absolute value + addend is stored in the GOT
    slot, against non-preemptible absolute symbol are allowed in PIE and
    shared library.
    
    Also convert load relocation to R_386_32, R_X86_64_32S or R_X86_64_32 for
    relocation against non-preemptible absolute symbol.  Don't convert to
    R_X86_64_32S nor R_X86_64_32 for non-preemptible absolute symbol if they
    overflow.
