[ELF] For relative paths in INPUT() and GROUP(), search the directory of the current linker script before searching other paths
For a relative path in INPUT() or GROUP(), this patch changes the search order by adding the directory of the current linker script.
The new search order (consistent with GNU ld >= 2.35 regarding the new test `test/ELF/input-relative.s`):
1. the directory of the current linker script (GNU ld from Binutils 2.35 onwards; https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25806)
2. the current working directory
3. library paths (-L)
This behavior makes it convenient to replace a .so or .a with a linker script with additional input. For example, glibc
```
% cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.a
/* GNU ld script
*/
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)
GROUP ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm-2.29.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmvec.a )
```
could be simplified as `GROUP(libm-2.29.a libmvec.a)`.
Another example is to make libc++.a a linker script:
```
INPUT(libc++.a.1 libc++abi.a)
```
Note, -l is not affected.
