ld: warn about PE base relocations to sections above .reloc
Due to a bogus linker script, or perhaps because a section doesn't get placed by a linker script while default placement puts it too high up, sections can end up above .reloc. Since the process of determining its contents (and hence its size) happens before final section placement, relocations needed for such sections would no longer point at the correct address in the final binary. Warn about this (down the road this may want to become an error, unless size determination and content creation for .reloc would get decoupled). To avoid triggering the warning when .reloc gets discarded, suppress populating the section in the first place in this case.
