/// \file
/// This linker pass transforms all GOT kind references to real references.
/// That is, in assembly you can write something like:
///     movq foo@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
/// which means you want to load a pointer to "foo" out of the GOT (global
/// Offsets Table). In the object file, the Atom containing this instruction
/// has a Reference whose target is an Atom named "foo" and the Reference
/// kind is a GOT load.  The linker needs to instantiate a pointer sized
/// GOT entry.  This is done be creating a GOT Atom to represent that pointer
/// sized data in this pass, and altering the Atom graph so the Reference now
/// points to the GOT Atom entry (corresponding to "foo") and changing the
/// Reference Kind to reflect it is now pointing to a GOT entry (rather
/// then needing a GOT entry).
///
/// There is one optimization the linker can do here.  If the target of the GOT
/// is in the same linkage unit and does not need to be interposable, and
/// the GOT use is just a load (not some other operation), this pass can
/// transform that load into an LEA (add).  This optimizes away one memory load
/// which at runtime that could stall the pipeline.  This optimization only
/// works for architectures in which a (GOT) load instruction can be change to
/// an LEA instruction that is the same size.  The method isGOTAccess() should
/// only return true for "canBypassGOT" if this optimization is supported.
