I thought about doing it in relax_section for a while, but I think it would
be slower, because I'd have to look up a bunch of things, while at the
relocate_section time all the information is already handy (because the
relocation is being done).
relax_section is permitted to change the size of the section, unlike
relocate_section. Changing section sizes may in turn permit further
relaxations to occur.
If your code changes don't change the size of the section, then there
is no particular reason to use relax_section.
