Russ Cox 28639df158 cmd/link: apply -X options after loading symbols
The linker has been applying -X options before loading symbols,
meaning that when it sees -X y=z it creates a symbol named y
and initializes its string data to z. The symbol named y is marked
"DUPOK" so that when the actual packages are loaded, no error is
emitted when the real y is seen. The predefined y's data is used
instead of whatever the real y says.

If we define -X y=z and we never load y, then the predefined symbol
is dropped during dead code elimination, but not in shared library
builds. Shared library builds must include all symbols, so we have to
be more careful about not defining symbols that wouldn't have
appeared anyway.

To be more careful, save the -X settings until after all the symbols
are loaded from the packages, and then apply the string changes
to whatever symbols are known (but ignore the ones that were not
loaded at all). This ends up being simpler anyway, since it doesn't
depend on DUPOK magic.

Makes CL 86835 safe.

Fixes #23273.
