Use default section indexes in fixup_symbol_section
If fixup_section does not find a matching section, it arbitrarily chooses the first one. However, it seems better to make this default depend on the type of the symbol -- i.e., default data symbols to .data and text symbols to .text. I've also made fixup_section static, as it only has one caller.
