`printRelRelaReloc` is a non-virtual template method, defined for both `LLVMStyle<ELFT>` and `GNUStyle<ELFT>` output styles.

```
template <class ELFT>
template <class RelTy>
void LLVMStyle<ELFT>::printRelRelaReloc(const ELFO *Obj, unsigned SecIndex,
                                        const RelTy &Rel, unsigned RelIndex,
                                        const Elf_Shdr *SymTab)
```

```
template <class ELFT>
template <class RelTy>
void GNUStyle<ELFT>::printRelRelaReloc(const ELFO *Obj, unsigned SecIndex,
                                       const Elf_Shdr *SymTab, const RelTy &R,
                                       unsigned RelIndex)
```

The only way I can imagine how to call it directly from the base class is to detemplate it, make it virtual and return to having `Elf_Rela R, bool IsRela` or something alike in the signature, what didn't work good (D83871).
Or, may be we can pass both `Elf_Rela` and `Elf_Rel` at the same time. E.g:

```
void GNUStyle<ELFT>::printRelRelaReloc(const ELFO *Obj, unsigned SecIndex,
                                       const Elf_Shdr *SymTab, unsigned RelIndex, const Elf_Rela *Rela, const Elf_Rela *Rel) {
assert((Rela || Rel) && !(Rela && Rel));
...
}
```

or introduce a helper struct to store either both relocations ot `Elf_Rel` + optional addend. In all that cases this needs `printRelRelaReloc` to be detemplated and virtualized. Want me to try this way?
