cmd/link, cmd/compile: Add symbol references to object file.
Symbols in the object file currently refer to each other using symbol name and version. Referring to the same symbol many times in an object file takes up space and causes redundant map lookups. Instead write out a list of unique symbol references and have symbols refer to each other using indexes into this list. Credit to Michael Hudson-Doyle for kicking this off.
