Frederic Riss f067530e7a [dsymutil] Fix handling of common symbols. ...

llvm-dsymutil was misinterpreting the value of common symbols as their
address when it actually contains their size. This didn't impact
llvm-dsymutil's ability to link the debug information for common symbols
because these are always found by name and not by address. Things could
however go wrong when the size of a common object matched the object
file address of another symbol. Depending on the link order of the symbols
the common object might incorrectly evict this other object from the
address to symbol mapping, and then link the evicted symbol with a wrong
binary address.

Use the new ability to have symbols without an object file address to fix
this.
