## Message

```
macho: implement object relinking in stage2

* In watch mode, when changing the C source, we will trigger complete
  relinking of objects, dylibs and archives (atoms coming from the
  incremental updates stay put however). This means, we need to undo
  metadata populated when linking in objects, archives and dylibs.
* Remove unused splitting section into atoms bit. This optimisation
  will probably be best rewritten from scratch once self-hosted
  matures so parking the idea for now. Also, for easier management
  of atoms spawned from the Object file, keep the atoms subgraph as
  part of the Object file struct.
* Remove obsolete ref to static initializers in object struct.
* Implement handling of global symbol collision in updateDeclExports.

```
