Note that there is a triple indirection involved with
personalities and compact unwind:

1. Two bits of each CU encoding are used as an offset into the personality array.
2. Each entry of the personality array is an offset from the image base. The resulting address (after adding the image base) should point within the GOT.
3. The corresponding GOT entry contains the actual pointer to the personality function.

To further complicate things, when the personality function is in the
object file (as opposed to a dylib), its references in
`__compact_unwind` may refer to it via a section + offset relocation
instead of a symbol relocation. Since our GOT implementation can only
create entries for symbols, we have to create a synthetic symbol at the
given section offset.
