IIRC over 99% of relocations in libmonochrome were relative, so I didn't implement anything for the non-relative relocations, but maybe there are more non-relative relocations now. I can imagine that if say you were building it as a component build that would result in more non-relative relocations than in shipping builds. It may also be more compelling to mention how much this helps for the Android platform which I believe uses non-relative relocations more heavily.

It may also be worth compressing `.rela.plt` now that we're compressing non-relative relocations.
