Summary

On ARM the interworking thunks are only produced for branch instructions that can't be changed into a blx instruction so only Thumb callers would call Thumb thunks and only ARM callers would call ARM thunks. With range extension thunks branch and link instructions may need a Thunk. These instructions can be rewritten as a blx and can use either ARM or Thumb thunks.

We introduce a compatibleWith() function so that a caller can check if an existing Thunk is compatible before reusing it.

I'm abandoning the range thunks implementation that inserts into OutputSections in favour of an implementation that inserts into InputSectionDescription.
