Generalize D99629 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D99629> for ELF.

- A non-preemptible call can save a PLT entry.
- A PC-relative relocation referencing a preemptible symbol is disallowed for -shared links, so replacing a non-preemptible alias with the preemptible aliasee can introduce a linker error.

(Note: `isInterposable` is mostly correct for interprocedural
optimizations but not suitable for variable behaviors on ELF.)

We should suppress alias removal for the case.

I think canonicalization for the changed case has little advantage, so I don't
bother to add the `Triple(M.getTargetTriple()).isOSBinFormatELF()` or
`getPICLevel/getPIELevel` complexity.
