[MIPS] Optimize sortRelocs for o32

The o32 ABI specifies:

> Each relocation type of R_MIPS_HI16 must have an associated R_MIPS_LO16 entry immediately following it in the list of relocations. [...] the addend AHL is computed as (AHI << 16) + (short)ALO

In practice, the high-part and low-part relocations may not be adjacent
in assembly files, requiring the assembler to reorder relocations.
http://reviews.llvm.org/D19718 performed the reordering, but did not
optimize for the common case where a %lo immediately follows its
matching %hi. The quadratic time complexity could make sections with
many relocations very slow to process.

This patch implements the fast path, simplifies the code, and makes the
behavior more similar to GNU assembler (for the .rel.mips_hilo_8b test).
We also remove `OriginalSymbol`, removing overhead for other targets.

Fix #104562

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
