Inline section_reference_needed() and is_reloc_allowed() into convert_reloc_sym() and remove the redundant is_reloc_allowed() check in clone_reloc().
Move the is_sec_sym() checks into the convert callees so they become no-ops when the reloc is already in the right format. This allows convert_reloc_sym() to unconditionally dispatch to the right converter based on section type.
