Hi Alice,

This is v2 of the patch with fixes based on review comments.

Changes in v2:
  - Return bfd_reloc_notsupported for SEC_ALLOC sections
  - Fix error handling in %dtprel parsing
  - Improve diagnostics
  - Extract operator name correctly
  - Remove incorrect reloc_table entry
  - Drop gold changes
  - Update test regex

Thanks for the review!

Shivam
