Consider three shared libraries:
libBase.so -- defines a type T
lib2.so -- references type T
lib3.so -- also references type T, and something from lib2
lib2.so will contain a type symbol for T in its symbol table, but no
definition. If, when linking lib3.so the linker reads the symbols from lib2.so
before libBase.so, the linker didn't read the type data and later crashed.
The fix is trivial but the test change is a bit messy because the order the
linker reads the shared libraries in ends up depending on the order of the
import statements in the file so I had to rename one of the test packages so
that gofmt doesn't fix the test by accident...

We already read the address of a gcmask/gcprog out of the type data, but I
didn't know how many bytes to read. But it turns out that it's easy to
calculate, so change to do that. This means that we no longer depend on the
local symbols being present, allowing me to strip the shared libraries for
distribution and make them a lot smaller.
As a bonus, this makes LSym another 24 bytes smaller, down to 296 bytes now.

The motivation for this is the innocuous looking test case that is added. This
creates a stack exe -> libdep2.so -> libdep.so -> libruntime.so. The problem
comes from the fact that a function from libdep.so gets inlined all the way
into exe. This (unsurprisingly) means that the object file for exe references
symbols from libdep.so, which means that -ldep needs to be passed when linking
exe and it isn't. The fix is simply to pass it -- there is no harm in passing
it when it's not needed.
The thing is, it's not clear at all in the current code to see how the linker
can know that libdep2 is linked against libdep. It could look through the
DT_NEEDED entries in libdep2 and try to guess which are Go libraries, but it
feels better to be explicit. So this adds another SHT_NOTE section that lists
the shared libraries a shared library was linked against, and makes sure the
complete set of depended upon shared libraries is passed to the external
linker.
