LOG: [LLD][AArch64] Handle R_AARCH64_TLS_DTPREL64 in non-alloc sections (#183962)

Clang plan to emit R_AARCH64_TLS_DTPREL64 in .debug_info (see PR
#146572). LLD currently fails to recognize this relocation.

This prevent the debugger from correctly locating TLS variables when
using the DWARF DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address or DW_AT_location with DTPREL
offsets.

This patch adds support for R_AARCH64_TLS_DTPREL64, adds its mapping to
R_DTPREL.

Added: 
    lld/test/ELF/aarch64-tls-dtprel.s

Modified: 
    lld/ELF/Arch/AArch64.cpp

Removed:
