Log:
  elfcopy: delete filter_reloc, it is broken and unnecessary

  elfcopy contained logic to filter individual relocations in STRIP_ALL
  mode.  However, this is not valid; relocations emitted by the linker are
  required, unless they apply to an entire section being removed (which is
  handled by other logic in elfcopy).

  Note that filter_reloc was also buggy: for RELA relocation sections it
  operated on uninitialized rel.r_info resulting in invalid operation.

  The logic most likely needs to be inverted: instead of removing
  relocations because their associated symbols are being removed, we must
  keep symbols referenced by relocations.  That said, in practice we do
  not encounter this code path today: objects being stripped are either
  dynamically linked binaries which retain .dynsym, or static binaries
  with no relocations.

  Just remove filter_reloc.  This fixes certain cases including statically
  linked binaries containing ifuncs.  Stripping binaries with relocations
  referencing removed symbols was already broken, and after this change
  may still be broken in a different way.
