Dead relocations in SHF_ALLOC sections are errors. `relocateNonAlloc` does not handle them, so `-z tombstone-reloc` and `-z resolve-dead-reloc` are excluded.

For `-z dead-nonalloc-reloc-val` The adjective `nonalloc` appears to describe `reloc`, which is not precise. `nonalloc` describes the section.

I still consider `-z dead-reloc-in-nonalloc` the best.
