[PATCH] Create thunks before regular relocation scan.

[Rafael Espíndola via llvm-commits]

We will need to do something like this to support range extension
thunks since that process is iterative.

Doing this also has the advantage that when doing the regular
relocation scan the offset in the output section is known and we can
just store that. This reduces the number of times we have to run
getOffset and I think will allow a more specialized .eh_frame
representation.

By itself this is already a performance win.
