As defined at AArch64 ELF Specification (4.6.7 Call and Jump
relocations), symbol with type of non STT_FUNC but in different input
section with relocation place should insert long branch veneer also.
Meanwhile the current long branch veneer infrastructure havn't considered
the situation where the branch destination is "sym_value + rela->addend".
This was OK because we only insert veneer for long call destination is
STT_FUNC symbol for which the addend is always zero. But as we relax the
support to other situations by this patch, we need to handle addend be
non-zero value. For example, for static function, relocation against
"local symbol" are turned into relocation against "section symbol + offset"
where there is a valid addend.

* elfnn-aarch64.c (aarch64_type_of_stub): Allow insert long branch
veneer for sym_sec != input_sec.
(elfNN_aarch64_size_stub): Support STT_SECTION symbol.
(elfNN_aarch64_final_link_relocate): Take rela addend into account when
calculation destination.
