cmd/link: use uint32 as symbol index
Currently, a symbol's global index, the Sym type, is defined as an int, which is 64-bit on 64-bit machines. We're unlikely to have more than 4 billion symbols in the near future. Even if we will, we will probably hit some other limit (e.g. section size) before the symbol number limit. Use a 32-bit type to reduce memory usage. E,g, linking cmd/compile in external linking mode (on macOS/amd64) Munmap_GC 43.2M ± 0% 35.5M ± 1% -17.74% (p=0.000 n=16+20) This brings the memory usage back before the previous CL, and even lower.
