Fix incorrect calculated relocations on Windows x86_64
Summary:
See #12031 for analysis, but essentially what happens is:
To sum up the issue, the reason this seems to go wrong is because
of how we initialize the `.bss` section for Windows in the runtime linker.
The first issue is where we calculate the zero space for the section:
```
zspace = stgCallocBytes(1, bss_sz, "ocGetNames_PEi386(anonymous bss)");
sectab_i->PointerToRawData = ((UChar*)zspace) - ((UChar*)(oc->image));
```
Where
```
UInt32 PointerToRawData;
```
This means we're stuffing a `64-bit` value into a `32-bit` one. Also `zspace`
can be larger than `oc->image`. In which case it'll overflow and
then get truncated in the cast.
The address of a value in the `.bss` section is then calculated as:
```
addr = ((UChar*)(oc->image))
+ (sectabent->PointerToRawData
+ symtab_i->Value);
```
If it does truncate then this calculation won't be correct (which is what is happening).
We then later use the value of `addr` as the `S` (Symbol) value for the relocations
```
S = (size_t) lookupSymbol_( (char*)symbol );
```
Now the majority of the relocations are `R_X86_64_PC32` etc.
e.g. They are guaranteed to fit in a `32-bit` value.
The `R_X86_64_64` introduced for these pseudo-relocations so they can use
the full `48-bit` addressing space isn't as lucky.
As for why it sometimes work has to do on whether the value is truncated or not.
`PointerToRawData` can't be changed because it's size is fixed by the PE specification.
Instead just like with the other platforms, we now use `section` on Windows as well.
This gives us a `start` parameter of type `void*` which solves the issue.
This refactors the code to use `section.start` and to fix the issues.
