Redo gas local symbol support

gas handles local symbols specially in order to save memory, but the
implementation using two separate hash tables is inefficient,
particularly the scheme of duplicating a struct local_symbol when it
needs to be converted to a full struct symbol.  Also, updating symbol
pointers with LOCAL_SYMBOL_CHECK is horrible and has led to some hard
to find bugs.

This changes the implementation to use a single hash table and avoids
another copy of the symbol name in symbol_entry_t.  When converting
local symbols the struct local_symbol memory is reused.  Not only
does that save memory, but there is no need to twiddle symbol pointers
with LOCAL_SYMBOL_CHECK.

Assembling gcc-10 -g -Og gold/powerpc.cc output shows the following:

old:
symbol table hash statistics:
	1371192 searches
	1290398 collisions
	143585 elements
	262139 table size
mini local symbol table hash statistics:
	2966204 searches
	2707489 collisions
	523533 elements
	1048573 table size
523533 mini local symbols created, 140453 converted

new:
symbol table hash statistics:
	2828883 searches
	2453138 collisions
	526665 elements
	1048573 table size
523533 mini local symbols created, 140453 converted
