```
coff: write base relocations for the dynamic linker

This means we can request ASLR on by default as other COFF linkers
do. Currently, we write the base relocations in bulk, however,
given that there is a mechanism for padding in place in PE/COFF
I believe there might be room for making it an incremental operation
(write base relocation whenever we add/update a pointer that would
require it).

```
