For bfd_reloc_outofrange relocation error, instead of

ld: pr34448-bug_4.o(.debug_addr+0x7f000008): reloc against
`.text.get_tls': error 4

linker now reports:

ld: pr34448-bug_4.o(.debug_addr+0x7f000008): relocation `R_X86_64_64'
against `.text.get_tls' is out of section range

PR ld/34448
* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_relocate_section): Call
_bfd_x86_elf_link_report_relocation_error for relocation error.
* elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_relocate_section): Likewise.
* elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_link_report_relocation_error): New.
* elfxx-x86.h (_bfd_x86_elf_link_report_relocation_error): New.
