Rename InputSection.cpp:getSymVA to getRelocTargetVA.

[silvas]

Summary

This name was really confusing because there is also another static
helper Symbols.cpp:getSymVA which has the same name.

Any other naming suggestions are welcome. I just want to make it clear that this is different from Symbols.cpp:getSymVA. InputSection.cpp:getSymVA calls into Body.getVA which calls Symbols.cpp:getSymVA, so it also doesn't make much sense and makes the code harder to understand: they return different things, they should not be called get<the-same-thing>.

I am in favour of this change. I think the name is quite explanatory/clear.
Oracle docs (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/819-0690/chapter6-54839.html) use the wording "storage unit affected by the reloc", but I prefer target =)

Not quite. "storage unit affected by the reloc" is the location that is being mutated by the relocation, not the thing the relocation "points at". Using the terminology from that page, I think the only term it uses is "value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation entry" for RelocTarget.

LGTM

Oh, yeah, nvm. LGTM anyway.

Update local variable name to be more consistent.
