Proposal for STT_GNU_IFUNC and R_*_IRELATIVE

Late last year there was a discussion in regards STT_IFUNC, and we
thought you'd settled on this name (no _GNU_) and the associated
value of 7.

I guess we jumped the gun.  Although we have no immediate plans to
implement support for this, we did reserve the name-space, so that
if nothing else we could identify new objects with this definition:

  sys/elf.h:#define   STT_IFUNC   7   /* indirect code object (unused) */


I assume we should now remove this dead-wood and reserve the STT_LOOS
value instead.
