PR23040, .uleb128 directive doesn't accept some valid expressions

What a trip down a rabbit hole this bug has been.

First observation: You can't use deferred_expression in s_leb128.
deferred_expression implements the semantics of .eqv or '==', saving
an expression with minimal simplification for assignment to a symbol
so that the expression is evaluated at uses of the symbol.  In
particular, the value of "dot" is not evaluated at the .eqv symbol
assignment, but later.  When s_leb128 uses deferred_expression,
"later" is at the end of assembly, giving entirely the wrong value of
"dot".  There is no way to fix this for the s_leb128 use without
breaking .equ (which incidentally was already somewhat broken, see
commit e4c2619ad1).  So, don't use deferred_expression in s_leb128.

But that leads to the gas test elf/dwarf2-17 failing, because view
symbols are calculated with a chain of expression symbols.  In the
dwarf2-17 .L1 case there is a "temp_sym_1 > temp_sym_2" expression,
with temp_sym_1 and temp_sym_2 on either side of a ".balign".  Since
".balign" and many other directives moving "dot" are not calculated on
the first (and only) pass over source, .L1 cannot be calculated until
final addresses are assigned to frags.  However, ".uleb128 .L1" *is*
calculated immediately, resulting in the wrong value.

The reason why .L1 is calculated immediately is that code in
expr.c:operand after the comment
	  /* If we have an absolute symbol or a reg, then we know its
	     value now.  */
does as it says and fixes the value of .L1, because .L1 is assigned
to absolute_section in dwarf2dbg.c:set_or_check_view.  So, correct
that to expr_section.

Unfortunately that fix leads to failure of the elf/dwarf2-5 test with
../gas/elf/dwarf2-5.s: Error: attempt to get value of unresolved symbol `.L5'
../gas/elf/dwarf2-5.s: Error: attempt to get value of unresolved symbol `.L11'
../gas/elf/dwarf2-5.s: Error: attempt to get value of unresolved symbol `.L12'
So why is that?  Well, it turns out that .L5 is defined in terms of
.L4, and apparently .L4 is undefined.  But .L4 clearly is defined,
otherwise we would hit an error when trying to use .L4 a little
earlier.  There are two copies of .L4!  So, symbols are cloned when
that should not happen.

Symbol cloning is a technique used by gas to support saving the value
of symbols that change between uses, but that isn't the case with
.L4.  Only one value is set and used for .L4, but indeed .L4 was being
cloned by symbol_clone_if_forward_ref.  This despite no forward refs
being present.  Also, .L4 is a local symbol and a cursory glance at
symbol_clone_if_forward_ref "if (symbolP && !LOCAL_SYMBOL_CHECK (symbolP))"
would seem to prevent cloning of local symbols.  All is not as it
seems though, a curse of using macros.  LOCAL_SYMBOL_CHECK modifies
its argument if a "struct local_symbol" is converted to the larger
"struct symbol", as happens when assigning a view symbol value.
That fact results in the recursive call to symbol_clone_if_forward_ref
returning a different address for "add_symbol".  This problem could
have been fixed by using symbol_same_p rather than comparing symbol
pointers, but I thought it better to use the real symbol throughout.
Note that symbol_find_exact also returns the real symbol for a
converted local symbol.

Finally, this patch does expose lack of support for forward symbol
definitions in various targets.  For example:
alpha-linux  +ERROR: ../ld/testsuite/ld-elf/pr11138-2.c: compilation failed
This is caused by view symbol uses.  On alpha-linux-gcc (GCC) 8.1.1
20180502 they happen to occur in .byte directives so were silently
broken in cases like elf/dwarf2-17 anyway.

/tmp/ccvtsMfU.s: Fatal error: unhandled relocation type BFD_RELOC_8
/tmp/ccvtsMfU.s: Fatal error: unhandled relocation type BFD_RELOC_8

md_apply_fix on those targets needs to handle fixups that resolve down
to a constant.
