cmd/link, cmd/compile: Add symbol references to object file.
Symbols in the object file currently refer to each other using symbol name
and version. Referring to the same symbol many times in an object file takes
up space and causes redundant map lookups. Instead write out a list of unique
symbol references and have symbols refer to each other using indexes into this
list.
Credit to Michael Hudson-Doyle for kicking this off.
