LOG: [MachO] Fix dead-stripping __eh_frame

This section is marked S_ATTR_LIVE_SUPPORT in input files, which meant
that on arm64, we were unnecessarily preserving FDEs if we e.g. had
multiple weak definitions for a function. Worse, we would actually
produce an invalid `__eh_frame` section in that case, because the CIE
associated with the unnecessary FDE would still get dead-stripped and
we'd end up with a dangling FDE. We set up associations from functions
to their FDEs, so dead-stripping will just work naturally, and we can
clear S_ATTR_LIVE_SUPPORT from our input `__eh_frame` sections to fix
dead-stripping.
