This was originally used (along with FREEBSD_AOUT) to prefer the use
of ELF in various tools instead of a.out as part of the a.out to ELF
transition in the 3.x days. The last use of it was removed from
<link.h> in commit 66422f5b7a back in
2002, but various files still #define it.

There is no need to keep multiple copies of the relocation code. The
amd64 code works on arm64 with a few small changes to relocation types.

Extend the powerpc relative relocation handling from r240782 to a
handful of other architectures. This is needed to properly read
dependency information from kernel modules.

ifuncs can be only called in the (early boot) kernel environment, so
postpone resolving until early stage of the kernel boot. This commit
is performed in advance to make loaders on most machines updated
before ifuncs appear in the kernels.

latter aren't used. Prefer sys/link_elf.h to link.h so we're only
dependent on the kernel tree. The default installation of link.h just
includes this file, and any benefit from that is outweighed by the
hassle it causes. This reduces the footprint of files needed from the
system includes (or sysroot in buildworld).
