```
elf: redo strings management in the linker

* atom names - are stored locally and pulled from defining object's
  strtab
* local symbols - same
* global symbols - in principle, we could store them locally, but
  for better debugging experience - when things go wrong - we
  store the offsets in a global strtab used by the symbol resolver

```
