objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types
Occasionally objtool encounters symbol (as opposed to section) relocations in .altinstructions. Typically they are the alternatives written by elf_add_alternative() as encountered on a noinstr validation run on vmlinux after having already ran objtool on the individual .o files. Basically this is the counterpart of commit 44f6a7c0755d ("objtool: Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols"), because when these new assemblers (binutils now also does this) strip the section symbols, elf_add_reloc_to_insn() is forced to emit symbol based relocations. As such, teach get_alt_entry() about different relocation types.
